IEEE's MAC address allocations have a weird pricing structure.

If you want to buy a 12 (aka 4096 addresses), that's $855 one time (or $0.20 per MAC address).

However you can buy 20 bits of space (1Mil addresses) for $2,030 one time !, and 24 bits (16Mil) for $3,375 one time !

I somewhat question the desire to buy 4096 MAC addresses when 1 million is only around 2x the price.

This product was previously referred to as an OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) and is still referred to as such in many standards.

I heard a story that cost of MAC addresses was a factor that caused IPv4 multicast to be designed to use only 23 bits from group id in the MAC address.

FWIW your posts in recent days have raised a few peoples' consciousness, including mine. Among other things, Masto has an “invisible attacker” problem, i.e. nobody else can see the abuse that gets pushed into your face. While the people saying “it’s easy to fix, just fix it” are wrong - it’s a hard problem - that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be a priority. Thanks for raising your voice.

Ugh, that brings back unpleasant memories as a third-party assistive technology developer back then (before I joined the Windows a11y team at Microsoft). The introduction of pre-Chromium Edge was disruptive for screen reader users, or perhaps more accurately, would have been if everyone hadn't just kept using their other browsers. When Edge switched to Chromium, it was a relief for me.
