For a given MAC address, MAC Address Lookup API retrieves:

• Vendor Details

  This information includes the name of the company, which registered the MAC addresses block, along with its street address and country code in ISO 3166 format.

• Administration Type

  MAC Address Lookup API determines if the address is a universally or locally administered MAC address.

• Registration Details

  The API checks if the MAC address belongs to any of the registered MAC blocks.

• Created & Updated dates

  These dates refer to when the MAC address block the given MAC address belongs to was registered and last updated.

• If It Is Private

  MAC Address Lookup API checks if the MAC address belongs to a privately registered block.

• If It Is Valid

  The API checks if the provided MAC address is syntactically correct.

• Virtual Machine Detection

  If the MAC address is assigned to a virtual machine, the API returns the vendor name (e.g., VMWare), otherwise it would say “Not detected.”

• Block Details

  For the MAC block the MAC address belongs to, users get the Left and Right borders, total number of MAC addresses in it, and assignment type.

• Wireshark Notes

  For some OUIs and MAC addresses, the Wireshark Database provides extra details, which may help users recognize the MAC address application or indicate an actual vendor rather than the original assignment.

• Possible Applications

  Vendors may reserve some MAC addresses and their ranges for specific use cases. Such addresses typically indicate what higher-level protocol is encapsulated in a frame.

• Assignment Block Size

  Users can check if the assignment block size is large, medium, small, or individual.

• Transmission Type

  Users can determine if the MAC address is a multicast or unicast address.
