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 long in bits is a typical MAC address?
48 bits is a typical MAC address in bits.
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 mac address format?
Media access control (MAC) addresses all network interface manufacturers to uniquely identify each network interface card (NIC) they produce. Currently there are three types of MAC address, MAC-48, EUI-48 and EUI-64. EUI is an abbreviation for extended unique identifier. MAC-48 and EUI-48 addresses are 48 bits in length while EUI-64 addresses are 64 bits in length.
How many bits are there in Mac address?
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 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.
What is the bit length and expression form of a mac address?
48 bits expressed as a hexdecimal number. Answered by TC44, South Africa.
How many potential MAC address schemes are possible?
The original IEEE 802 MAC address comes from the original Xerox Ethernet addressing scheme. This 48-bit address space contains potentially 248 or 281,474,976,710,656 possible MAC addresses.
How long are Ethernet Mac addresses?
Ethernet addresses are 48 bits long - not 32 bits long like IP addresses. Different single network standards have different address lengths. Ethernet addresses are called MAC addresses for other reasons, Media Access Control.
The address is the physical address of your network interface card that was assigned by the company that made the card?
This is MAC Address comprising of 48 bits (six blocks of double digit hexadecimal numbers)
What is a good torrent downloader for a Mac?
bits on wheels
Is 48 bits 6 bytes?
Since 8 bits = 1 byte, yes.
How many leading zeros will be displayed in a 48-bit binary MAC address with a value of a digital 1 if it is used within a network on a star topology?
huh? You say it's 48 bits and the value is one; so, 47 bits are zeros. I don't know what the type of network has to do with how one might write a MAC address. By the way, digital 1 also does not make sense. Perhaps you're refering to the fact that MAC addresses are usually displayed in hexadecimal. So, that's 4 bits per digit, thus 12 digits total and the last one on the right is a 1. I'll let you do the math there.
