Bug ID: 1198
Summary: Tap driver incorrectly uses globally unique ID when
"mac=3Dfixed" is specified
Product: DPDK
Version: 23.03
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: core

Target Milestone: ---
When the tap driver is loaded and the user selects the optional "mac=3Dfixe=
d"
setting, the tap driver incorrectly uses a globally unique EUI-48 identifier
(as documented in RFC 7042). Since this is a locally generated ID, the Loc=
al
bit in the MAC address should be set to 1.
The following change is suggested:
