Xavier de Gaye added the comment: > C:\> ipconfig -all So the all-zero MAC address occurs on a Windows box and that explains the test_windll_getnode failure (this test is skipped on Android). I missed that point in your initial post and knowing what Android device you are

Xavier de Gaye added the comment: > I'm not sure that is better than a random address. I agree, getnode() when obtained from a MAC address should not return 0. RFC 4122 states (emphasis on 'uniqueness' is mine): This document specifies three algorithms to

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: I'm not sure that is better than a random address. Even if an all-zero MAC address is not explicitly prohibited it is used in a multiple independent devices. A random address looks more appropriate fore the purpose

Xavier de Gaye added the comment: On a Samsung device with Android 5.1 and tethering enabled, only one network device has a MAC address and it is not an all-zero MAC address. Ivan can you please provide more information about this problem: which device, what Android

[issue31643] test_uuid: test_getnode and test_windll_getnode fail if connected to the Internet via an Android phone

New submission from Ivan Pozdeev : Ethernet emulation for some devices like Android phones' tethering use all-zero MAC addresses (which is okay since they don't actually pass Ethernet frames to other NICs). This results in a node ID of 0 if I'm currently connected to the
