I was talking to Nachi and Gary during the Quantum design session about the need to have a proper MAC OUI allocation scheme for Openstack development folks. They suggested that I send it out for wider discussion on the mailing list.
It turns out that it would be useful for the Openstack foundation to apply for a MAC OUI from IEEE that can be used for development purposes and testing. This way we don't unwittingly use someone else MAC allocation. Here are the details http://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/oui/index.html The cost to get a OUI allocation is around $2000 dollars. Remember if we use random MAC OUI, the actual owners can assert their legal claim on the MAC address in the event of a conflict now that we have support for more sophisticated tunnels that allow connections from public and private clouds. Comments welcome. Vinay
