There is just not enough room in the world of screen space to display those properly or in some globally exceptable way unless we want to start changing netstat to display addreesses line by line. Ive been looking around a bit "EUI-64" ... never mind ;) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EUI-64 Relavent section: In addition, the EUI-64 numbering system encompasses both MAC-48 and EUI-48 identifiers by a simple translation mechanism. To convert a MAC-48 into an EUI-64, copy the OUI, append the two octets FF-FF, and then copy the organization-specified part. To convert an EUI-48 into an EUI-64, the same process is used, but the sequence inserted is "FF-FE". In both cases, the process can be trivially reversed when necessary. Organizations issuing EUI-64s are cautioned against issuing identifiers that could be confused with these forms. The IEEE policy is to discourage new uses of 48-bit identifiers in favor of the EUI-64 system. IPv6one of the most prominent standards that uses EUI-64treats MAC-48 as EUI-48 instead (as it is chosen from the same address pool). This results in extending MAC addresses (such as IEEE 802 MAC address) to EUI-64 using FF-FE rather than FF-FF. --=20 Regards, (jhell) Jason Hellenthal --tsOsTdHNUZQcU9Ye Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (FreeBSD) Comment: http://bit.ly/0x89D8547E iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJN0qqhAAoJEJBXh4mJ2FR+qjkH/jD0hXdb7fJ+z4f6jB/+2Jbu fIYt8ZG6PYfc7phoOVUQUGwYL6ZhAzaE9zxPUSRAn/58ZiOpS76t3VzA8epu9Mgh P2xRawF9JC0zsd/94+zdbbPsQewQMtNSmEBbvNdhmIGljfgb1pH6CwsJf3fQ2we0 dlOrjnWODU0TBbJXTAwLdKTZ4qu2l5Z1uQUs3W2OwT71mOCeqb5vgVxErSxOEzUA fmW+wU3cx4GLVoLOXZXvUxPso9jm74Vrw41jE8MvknZuE16QPMCuvlMZKIERYYOY GmGDu6J65D83uRtDGaolDWP1B+v2BeTYpa1PyqAuaVhBrCUrAnMK6011x3jgC7s= =Sfgu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --tsOsTdHNUZQcU9Ye--
