Visualizing MAC and IPv6 Address Allocations

Networking and Internet Architecture 2023-09-15 v1

Abstract

In this work, I describe a method for visualizing two types of network address allocations: Media Access Control (MAC) addresses -- hardware identifiers permanently assigned to network interfaces -- and Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) allocations -- subnetworks assigned from a larger, encompassing network (e.g., allocated /64 networks from a /48 network).
