Current BBN Ethernet and IEEE802.3 "Type" Fields The 13th and 14th octets of an Ethernet or IEEE802.3 packet (after the preamble) consist of the "Type" or "Length" field. These are formerly assigned by Xerox, currently assigned by IEEE. Some assignments are public, others private. Information currently available includes: Xerox Public Ethernet Packet Type documentation; IEEE802.3 Std, but not yet further documentation from IEEE; NIC RFC960; knowledge of some BBN Private Type Field values.

Ethernet Vendor Addresses Ethernet hardware addresses are 48 bits, expressed as 12 hexadecimal digits (0-9, plus A-F, capitalized). These 12 hex digits consist of the first/left 6 digits (which should match the vendor of the Ethernet interface within the station) and the last/right 6 digits which specify the interface serial number for that interface vendor. Currently we have noted the following vendor addresses, on the BBN Corporate Ethernet. 000093 Proteon 0000AA Xerox Xerox machines 0000C0 Gould 000102 BBN BBN internal usage (not registered) 00DD00 Ungermann-Bass RT 020701 Interlan UNIBUS or QBUS machines, Proteon 02608C 3Com IBM PC; Imagen; Valid 02CF1F CMC Masscomp,palantir 080002 Bridge 080005 Symbolics Symbolics LISP machines 080009 Hewlett-Packard 080010 AT+T 080014 Excelan BBN Butterfly, Masscomp, Sil.

These addresses are physical station addresses, not multicast nor broadcast, so the second hex digit (reading from the left) will be even, not odd. At present, it is not clear how the IEEE assigns Ethernet block addresses. Whether in blocks of 2**24 or 2**25, and whether multicasts are assigned with that block or separately. A portion of the vendor block address is reportedly assigned serially, with the other portion intentionally assigned randomly. If there is a global algorithm for which addresses are designated to be physical (in a chipset) versus logical (assigned in software), I am unaware of the algorithm. Current BBN Ethernet Multicast Addresses I do not have protocol specifications for DECNET and the VALID protocol at this time. There is no XNS or VALID router at present; those packets might be Hello packets, or gateway query packets.

I believe that this type number has been registered and is "official", whatever that may mean. Anyway, Apple uses it as well in their EtherTalk product. > Ethernet Vendor Addresses > > 080020 Sun Sun machines > 08002B DEC UNIBUS or QBUS machines, VAXen, LANBridges > (DEUNA, DEQNA, DELUA) The Texas Instruments Explorer (a Lisp workstation) has a vendor address of: 080028 TI TI Explorer Just thought I'd through in my $0.02 worth, if it is worth even that much....

The Texas Instruments Explorer (a Lisp workstation) has a vendor address
of:
080028 TI TI Explorer
After asking around, I believe that the vendor address also applies to
Ethernet boards in TI Business System xxxx's (Sys V Unix boxes); I
don't know if we make any other Ethernettable hardware.
