The Individual Address Block (IAB) can be used in conjunction with a number of standards. It does not limit your right to use your assignment for multiple purposes.
For more information about IAB assignments, please refer to the OUI Tutorial and the Frequently Asked Questions. An e-mail can also be sent to the IEEE Registration Authority.
To request IAB, please complete the below listed steps:
-
Search the OUI and IAB public listings to determine whether your company or any parent/subsidiary companies already own an assignment.
- Complete and submit the IAB application.
Once the IAB application is successfully submitted, a confirmation e-mail with a tracking number and additional information will be sent to the Requestor. All applications are processed within seven (7) working days from receipt of application and payment. Note: If there are any problems with the application (incomplete information, lack of usage percentage letter for existing assignment) or payment (declined, not received), the application will be placed on hold until the issue is rectified. All applications expire after 30 days.

* As of 5 December 2003, companies requesting confidentiality for Organizationally Unique Identifiers (OUI) assignments will be required to pay a fee for privacy. Assignees will also be required to pay an annual fee to maintain confidentiality. Payment options for the renewal fee are credit card, check or wire transfer.
This single assignment applies to all of these:
- A)
-
The OUI defined in ANSI/IEEE Std 802-2001 can be used to generate 48-bit
Universal LAN MAC addresses to uniquely identify LAN and MAN stations,
and Protocol Identifiers to identify public and private protocols. These
are used in Local and Metropolitan Area Network applications. The
relevant standards include:
CSMA/CD (IEEE 802.3, ISO 8802-3)
Token Bus (IEEE 802.4, ISO 8802-4)
Token Ring (IEEE 802.5, ISO/IEC 8802-5)
IEEE 802.6 (ISO/IEC DIS 8802-6) FDDI (ISO 9314-2)
WLAN (IEEE 802.11, ISO/IEC 8802-11) - B)
- The 'company_id' relevant standards include: defined in IEEE Std 1212-1991 Control and Status Register (CSR) Architecture referenced by IEEE Std 896.2-1991 Futurebus+Physical Layers and Profiles
- IEEE Std 1596-1992 Scalable Coherent Interface
-
IEEE Std 1394-1995 Serial Bus document. In this context, the 24-bit
company_id value is a portion of the 32-bit Module_Vendor_Id ROM location
(and related locations) and uniquely identifies hardware vendors and I/O
software interface architectures
ANSIX3.230-1994 Fibre Channel Standard
- The IEEE Registration Authority will
assign an additional IAB to any organization requesting
one, providing they submit a letter on company
letterhead to the IEEE Standards Department, stating
that their company will not "ship" product in
the new block assignment until well after they
have reached (shipped) at least 95% of the block
assignment, in the context of a specified standard.
Your company should ensure that large numbers
of derived identifiers are not left unused.
