-------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid7952 -------------------------------------- Status: Held for Document Update Type: Technical Reported by: Nikolai Malykh <[email protected]> Date Reported: 2024-05-23 Held by: Eric Vyncke (IESG) Section: 2.1 Original Text ------------- For global addresses, X = 0 and a MAC address begins with 3 octets or a larger initial prefix indicating the assignee of the block of MAC addresses. This prefix is followed by a sequence of additional octets so as to add up to the total MAC address length. For example, the IEEE assigns MAC Address Block Small (MA-S), where the first four and a half octets (36 bits) are assigned, giving the holder of the MA-S one and a half octets (12 bits) they can control in constructing 48-bit MAC addresses; other prefix lengths are also available [IEEEtutorials]. Corrected Text -------------- For global addresses, X = 0 and a MAC address begins with 3 octets or a larger initial prefix indicating the assignee of the block of MAC addresses. This prefix is followed by a sequence of additional bits so as to add up to the total MAC address length. For example, the IEEE assigns MAC Address Block Small (MA-S), where the first four and a half octets (36 bits) are assigned, giving the holder of the MA-S one and a half octets (12 bits) they can control in constructing 48-bit MAC addresses; other prefix lengths are also available [IEEEtutorials]. Notes ----- It is incorrect to talk about additional octets here, since the prefix size may not be an integer number of octets. It is appropriate to speak about additional bits. -------------------------------------- RFC9542 (draft-ietf-intarea-rfc7042bis-11) -------------------------------------- Title : IANA Considerations and IETF Protocol and Documentation Usage for IEEE 802 Parameters Publication Date : April 2024 Author(s) : D.
