IEEE 802c defines Local Medium Access Control (MAC) Address Usage, providing structured approaches through the Structured Local Address Plan (SLAP) in different regions of the local MAC address space. Local MAC addresses are not globally unique, and the assignment is within local administration's scope, allowing for more efficient reuse of the address space. The standard aims to facilitate future local MAC address management without the need for persistent universal addresses.

  2. July 2023 doc.: IEEE 802.11-23/1231r2 Intro to IEEE 802c IEEE 802c defines Local Medium Access Control (MAC) Address Usage It is not a mandatory standard, but it will help to the reuse of the local MAC address space in the future. Structured Local Address Plan (SLAP) specifies different assignment approaches in four specified regions of local MAC address space. Local MAC addresses are not presumed globally unique across all IEEE 802 networks. Unlike universal addresses, which are persistent to the MAC entity, local MAC addresses are not necessarily persistent. The local MAC address assigned to a MAC entity, including any subsequent change to that assignment, is entirely within the scope of the local administration.
