48-bits. Probably so that there would be enough for every network device to have a worldwide unique address. This 48-bit address space contains potentially 2^48 or 281,474,976,710,656 possible MAC addresses. (2 to the 48th power.)
Which will probably also run out (some day?) like IPv4 is running out and will be supposedly fixed by IPv6 which has a larger address spac

How long in bits is a typical MAC address?
48 bits is a typical MAC address in bits.
How many bits are reserved for OUI in mac address?
There are 24 bits, or six hex characters, for the preamble of the MAC address (i.e., 00:11:22 in the MAC address 00:11:22:33:44:55 or 0011.2233.4455).
How many characters does a MAC address have?
A MAC address consists of 48 bits, usually represented as a string of 12 hexadecimal digits
What is the first 24 bits in a mac address called?
OUI
Why there are 48 bits in Mac?
MAC address is the Layer 2 based unique address assigned (burned) to Network Interface Card. Out of 48 bits First 24 bits are assigned to Manufacturers (Of NIC Cards) & other 24 bits are assigned to each NIC by Manufacturer. 48 bits in MAC address provides unexhaustive possibility in near time for manufacturing NICs with unique identity number.
How many bytes in a Mac address?
A Mac address is a 48bit addressing scheme (usually represented in HEX). There are 8 bits in a bytes therefore it is 6 bytes long.
Explain the purpose of a MAC address How is the address used How many bits in the address?
The Media Access Control address (MAC address) is a 48 bit number that identifies equipment (computers, printers etc.) connected to a network - these connections are called Nodes. The Mac address number is usually set by the manufacturer of the equipment.
How many address in IPv4 address?
32 bits in a IPv4 address
How many bits of address bus are required to address 1mb memory?
