Abstract This document has comments from 802.11 WG to IEEE-SA Registration Authority, on the RAC OUI tiers proposal Mark Hamilton, SpectraLink/Polycom, Inc.
Comments on RAC OUI tiers 802.11 reviewed https://mentor.ieee.org/802-ec/dcn/12/ec-12-0061-01-00EC-rac-summary-of-oui-registry-tiers-proposal.pdf and offers the following comments: • This looks very interesting and several companies (through individuals) expressed that they would be quite interested in the smaller address pool purchase option. But, only if the pricing is right. When will pricing be known for the new options? • The Alternative B proposal seems to say that Company IDs will come with the “local” bit (U/L) set. That is, they come from the pool that is separated from address OUIs, by this bit. Is that a correct understanding? If so, that is a concern, as there are other bodies that define unique ID structures to be based on Company ID, and those also have a similar concept to U/L in the same place, assuming that RAC allocated Company IDs will be “U”, so “L” can be used for other local allocation methods of these IDs.
