ETHER TYPES (last updated 2001-05-01) Many of the networks of all classes are Ethernets (10Mb) or Experimental Ethernets (3Mb). These systems use a message "type" field in much the same way the ARPANET uses the "link" field. If you need an Ether Type, contact: IEEE Registration Authority c/o Iris Ringel IEEE Standards Department 445 Hoes Lane, P.O. Box 1331 Piscataway, NJ 08855-1331 Phone +1 732 562 3813 Fax: +1 732 562 1571 Email: http://standards.ieee.org/db/oui/forms/ The following list of EtherTypes is contributed unverified information from various sources.

Box 1331 Piscataway, NJ 08855-1331 Phone +1 732 562 3813 Fax: +1 732 562 1571 Email: ETHERNET VENDOR ADDRESS COMPONENTS or ORGANIZATIONALLY UNIQUE IDENTIFIERS Ethernet hardware addresses are 48 bits, expressed as 12 hexadecimal digits (0-9, plus A-F, capitalized). These 12 hex digits consist of the first/left 6 digits (which should match the vendor of the Ethernet interface within the station) and the last/right 6 digits which specify the interface serial number for that interface vendor. These high-order 3 octets (6 hex digits) are also known as the Organizationally Unique Identifier or OUI. Ethernet addresses might be written unhyphenated (e.g., 123456789ABC), or with one hyphen (e.g., 123456-789ABC), but should be written hyphenated by octets (e.g., 12-34-56-78-9A-BC). These addresses are physical station addresses, not multicast nor broadcast, so the second hex digit (reading from the left) will be even, not odd. At present, it is not clear how the IEEE assigns Ethernet block addresses. Whether in blocks of 2**24 or 2**25, and whether multicasts are assigned with that block or separately. A portion of the vendor block address is reportedly assigned serially, with the other portion intentionally assigned randomly. If there is a global algorithm for which addresses are designated to be physical (in a chipset) versus logical (assigned in software), or globally-assigned versus locally-assigned addresses, some of the known addresses do not follow the scheme (e.g., AA0003; 02xxxx).

CF0001 Data Comm for Business [McCain] ETHERNET MULTICAST ADDRESSES An Ethernet multicast address consists of the multicast bit, the 23-bit vendor component, and the 24-bit group identifier assigned by the vendor. For example, DEC is assigned the vendor component 08-00-2B, so multicast addresses assigned by DEC have the first 24-bits 09-00-2B (since the multicast bit is the low-order bit of the first byte, which is "the first bit on the wire").

The IANA may assign unicast global IEEE 802 MAC address from it's assigned OUI (00-00-5E) for use in IETF standard track protocols. The intended usage is for dynamic mapping between IP addresses and IEEE 802 MAC addresses. These IEEE 802 MAC addresses are not to be permanently assigned to any hardware interface, nor is this a substitute for a network equipment supplier getting its own OUI. The address block in IEEE binary is: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0111 1010 In the normal Internet dotted decimal notation this is 0.0.94 since the bytes are transmitted higher order first and bits within bytes are transmitted lower order first. IEEE CSMA/CD and Token Bus bit transmission order: 00 00 5E IEEE Token Ring bit transmission order: 00 00 7A Appearance on the wire (bits transmitted from left to right): 0 23 47 | | | 0000 0000 0000 0000 0111 1010 xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx | Multicast Bit Appearance in memory (bits transmitted right-to-left within octets, octets transmitted left-to-right): 0 23 47 | | | 0000 0000 0000 0000 0101 1110 xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx | Multicast Bit The latter representation corresponds to the Internet standard bit-order, and is the format that most programmers have to deal with. Using this representation, the range of Internet Unicast addresses is: 00-00-5E-00-00-00 to 00-00-5E-FF-FF-FF in hex, or 0.0.94.0.0.0 to 0.0.94.255.255.255 in dotted decimal The low order 24 bits of these unicast addresses are assigned as follows: Dotted Decimal Description Reference ----------------------- ------------------------------- --------- 000.000.000-000.000.255 Reserved [IANA] 000.001.000-000.001.255 Virual Router Redundancy (VRRP) [Hinden] IANA ETHERNET ADDRESS BLOCK - MULTICAST USE The IANA owns an Ethernet address block which may be used for multicast address asignments or other special purposes.

The OUIs are the same as those used in the Ethernet Vendor Address Components list above. The IANA's OUI, 00-00-5E, may be used in SNAP headers with the appropriate PID to identify the protocols listed below. Note that the IANA restricts this list to protocols that are ONLY identified in this manner; if a protocol has an EtherType, then SNAP headers identifying that protocol must contain an OUI of 00-00-00, with the EtherType in the PID field. The SNAP PID assignments using the IANA's OUI are: Protocol ID Description References ----------- ----------- ---------- decimal Hex 0001 0001 MARS Data Messages (short form) [RFC2022] 0002 0002 reserved for future NHRP use [RFC2332] 0003 0003 MARS/NHRP Control Messages [RFC2022, 2332] 0004 0004 MARS Data Messages (long form) [RFC2022] 0005 0005 SCSP - Server Cache Sync Protocol [RFC2334] 0006 0006 VRID - Virtual Router MAC Address [Knight] 0007 0007 L2TP [RFC3070] 0008 0008 Virtual Private Network ID [Malis-ID] 0009 0009 MSDP-GRE-Protocol Type [msdp-ID] REFERENCES [RFC894] Hornig, C., "A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams over Ethernet Networks, STD 41, RFC 894, Symbolics, April 1984.
