Requested revision
Standard: | IEEE Std 802-2014 | Clause: | 8.2.2 |
Clause title: | Assignment of universal addresses |
Rationale for revision
The text describing the example immediately prior to Figure 11 is incorrect. It is inconsistent with the description and with the figure. The "least significant nibble" is the one with the least significant bits, not the one with the most significant bits.
Proposed text
Change the sentence as follows:
For example, when using an MA-S to create an EUI-48, the MA-S value is contained in octets 0, 1, 2, 3 and the [del]least[/del][ins]most[/ins] significant [del]nibble[\del][ins]four bits[\ins] of octet 4, and the value assigned by the assignee is contained in the [del]most[/del][ins]least[/ins] significant [del]nibble[\del][ins]four bits[\ins] of octet 4 and [ins]in[/ins] octet 5.
Impact on existing networks
None.
