A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to a network interface controller (NIC) for use as a network address in communications within a network segment. The MAC address is a 48-bit value that is typically written as a sequence of six hexadecimal digits, separated by colons (e.g., 0A:26:B8:D6:65:90). The first 24 bits of the MAC address identify the manufacturer of the NIC, and the remaining 24 bits are assigned by the manufacturer to uniquely identify the NIC.
