Hi Varun, When Neutron is enabled, the last 3 octects of the MAC address are randomly generated. This is for avoiding clashes when instances are created concurrently and for preventing potentially malicious users from guessing other users' MAC addresses.
Any change to this logic will need code changes, as the algorithm for MAC generation is not currently configurable. The first three octects can instead be specified in a configuration file and, as you wrote, default to fa:16:3e It is my understanding that nova-network adopts a similar logic.
