After consulting with RAC members, the proposed resolution to CID 1192 is the following:
REVISED. The use of OUI is not deprecated. The proposed change refers to MA-L. The MA-L contains large blocks of 48-bit and 64-bit addresses, and an OUI. An MA-S assignment includes smaller blocks of addresses and an OUI-36. The MA-M does not include any organization identifier (see Table 5 of the tutorial.
The current tutorial is "Guidelines for Use of Extended Unique Identifier (EUI), Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI), and Company ID (CID)”. There are private MA-L, MA-M and MA-S assignments, so it is not proper to indicate that it contains a “public unique identifier"
The URL reference for [B20] does not resolve to a valid page.
Replace the text of 9.4.1.31 with the following:
"The Organization Identifier field contains a unique identifier assigned by the IEEE Registration Authority as a 24-bit OUI, a 24-bit CID, or a 36-bit OUI-36; see IEEE Registration Authority ([B20], [B21]). The order of the Organization Identifier field is described in 9.2.2 (Conventions).
The length of the Organization Identifier field (j) is the minimum number of octets required to contain the entire organizationally unique IEEE-assigned identifier (see Figure 9-116 (Organization Identifier field)), and the first 3 octets contain the OUI or CID portion of the identifier. Thus, the Organization Identifier field is 3 octets in length if the organizationally unique IEEE-assigned identifier is an OUI or CID, or 5 octets in length if the organizationally unique IEEE-assigned identifier is an OUI-36.
If the length of the organizationally unique IEEE-assigned identifier is not an integer number of octets, the least significant bits of the last octet are specified by the organization identified.
NOTE- For example, for the organizationally unique IEEE-assigned identifier 0x0050C24A4, the Organization Identifier field would contain 0x0050C24A4y where y represents the four least significant bits of the fifth octet of the field. The value of y is specified by the organization whose identifier is 0x0050C24A4."
Replace reference [B20] with:
[B20] "IEEE-SA Registration Authority - FAQs^54"
Replace the URL for footnote [54] with:
Replace reference [B21] with:
[B21] IEEE Standards Registration Authority—Guidelines for Use of Extended Unique Identifier (EUI), Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) and Company ID (CID).
Assuming that this is good, I'll figure out how to format this for the comment database and spreadsheet.
Cheers,
Mike
