The process for applying for MAC addresses under the IANA OUI was regularized in RFC 5342, since updated to and replaced by RFC 7042. See http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7042.txt. Perhaps you were trying before RFC 5342?
very possible. As I have said, I don't have to deal with IETF/IANA/IEEE often - we prefer to implement standards by far. I wasn't the one doing it for carp. We're talking about sth that happened 10 years ago. We ran against walls trying to get a multicast addr, and a protocol number for pfsync. Also as said before, the mac addr bit has pbly just been forgotten. -- Henning Brauer, hb@bsws.de, henning@openbsd.org BS Web Services GmbH, AG Hamburg HRB 128289, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting
