UAA: Universally Administered Address
Universally Administered Address (UAA), also known as burned-in addresses, is one of two types of the MAC addresses. The other type is Locally Administrated Address (LAA). UAA is uniquely assigned to a device by its manufacturer. The first three octets (in transmission order) identify the organization which issued the identifier, and are known as the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI). The following three (MAC-48 and EUI-48) or five (EUI-64) octets are assigned by that organization in nearly any manner they please, subject to the constraint of uniqueness.
