2.1 Modified EUI-64
The most common method is based on the modified IEEE identifier EUI-64 (see IEEE Standards in the For more information), which in turn is based on the IEEE 802 address, better known as the Media Access Control (MAC ) address.
From a MAC address, insert "0xFFFE" in the middle to obtain the IEEE EUI-64...
