I have a few minor comments for your consideration: Minor level comments: (1) p 4, sec 1.1. Notations Used in This Document "MAC" Media Access Control, not Message Authentication Code. "MAC-48" A 48-bit MAC address. This term is obsolete. If globally unique, use EUI-48. Note, this list doesn't appear to define EUI-48, only EUI. Perhaps forward reference section 2.1 or add it to the list for completeness? (2) p 6, sec 2.1. 48-Bit MAC Identifiers, OUIs, and Other Prefixes Table 1 The bottom (least significant) four bits of the first octet of the 3-octet 48-bit MAC have special meaning, as shown in Figure 1, and are referred to below as the M, X, Y, and Z bits. By 3-octet 48-bit MAC, are you referring to MA-L? Otherwise, I would assume that all 48-bit MACs are 6-octets long ... (3) p 10, sec 2.1.5. 48-Bit IANA MAC Assignment Considerations * must be documented in an Internet-Draft or RFC. If they are in an Internet-Draft then is that sufficient for a permanent assignment, or only a temporary one. Anyone can write an internet-draft ...
