Note that I say "when" there is a collision and not "if" because: - MAC addresses are supposed to be unique, but in practice, there are duplicates. - If a home router supports MAC address cloning, then there are more duplicates. - When you try to fit a 64-bit EUI-64 into 32 bits, sooner or later there will be a collision, because, as my mother used to say, "you can't fit a quart into a pint pot".
