  • The structure of a 48-bit MAC address. The b0 bit distinguishes [[multicast]] and [[unicast]] addressing and the b1 bit distinguishes universal and locally administered addressing.
  • Label of a [[UMTS]] router with MAC addresses for [[LAN]] and [[WLAN]] modules

<networking> (Or "MAC address") The physical address identifying an individual Ethernet controller board. An Ethernet addess is a 48-bit number aabbccddeeff where a-f are hexadecimal digits. The first 24 bits, aabbcc, identify the manufacturer of the controller. The Ethernet address is hard-wired on some controllers, stored in a ROM on some, and others allow it to be changed from software. It is usually written as six hexadecimal numbers, e.g. 08:00:20:03:72:DC. See also ARP, Internet address. (1996-02-21)

Physical address

In computing, a physical address (also real address, or binary address), is a memory address that is represented in the form of a binary number on the address bus circuitry in order to enable the data bus to access a particular storage cell of main memory, or a register of memory-mapped I/O device.
