    The second bit of the first byte of the ethernet address is set so
the address is "not globally unique". Very few of these addresses are
registered. The only ones I can think of were the old DECnet ethernet
addresses. (DECnet relied on changing the system's ethernet address to
include the layer-3 network address as an alternative to ARP.)
