b) There have been cases where manufacturers have allocated non-unique MAC addresses. What is worse is that these duplications have apparently tended to happen within the same batch of NICs, and have been encountered when somebody goes to deploy a group of say 20 new NICs they have just bought, and encounter one or more duplications.
Do you have any first hand experience of this happening? I have heard the story several times, but I would like to see something definitive. I wonder if it is an "internet urban myth".
Does anyone have in their possession two or more NICs with the same MAC address?
Thanks, Bob
