New Revision: 258141
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/258141

Log:
  The FreeBSD Project now has its own, Ogranizationally Unique Identifier,
  assigned by the IEEE.  This file includes documentation on how developers
  must carve up the space as well as an initial allocation for bhyve.

+/* 
+ * OUIs are most often used to uniquely identify network interfaces
+ * and occupy the first 3 bytes of both destination and source MAC
+ * addresses.  The following allocations exist so that various
+ * software systems associated with FreeBSD can have unique IDs in the
+ * absence of hardware.  The use of OUIs for this purpose is not fully
+ * fleshed out but is now in common use in virtualization technology.
+ * 
+ * Allocations from this range are expected to be made using COMMON
+ * SENSE by developers.  Do NOT take a large range just because
+ * they're currently wide open.  Take the smallest useful range for
+ * your system.  We have (2^24 - 2) available addresses (see Reserved
+ * Values below) but that is far from infinite.
+ *
+ * In the event of a conflict arbitration of allocation in this file
+ * is subject to core@ approval
+ * 
+ * Applications are differentiated based on the high order bit(s) of
+ * the remaining three bytes.  Our first allocation has all 0s, the
+ * next allocation has the highest bit set.  Allocating in this way
+ * gives us 254 allocations of 64K addresses.  Address blocks can be
+ * concatenated if necessary.
+ *
+ * Reserved Values: 0x000000 and 0xffffff are reserved and MUST NOT BE
+ * allocated for any reason.
