Reference

Note

The configuration ROM for IP-capable nodes contains at least one unit directory that identifies a unit architecture specified by either RFC 2734 or RFC 3146. The 48-bit unit architecture identifier consists of a 24-bit Unit_Spec_ID value and a 24-bit Unit_SW_Version value; the use of these configuration ROM entries is specified by ISO/IEC 13213:1994.

For IP (both IPv4 and IPv6) over 1394, the value of Unit_Spec_ID is 0x00 005E, the company ID assigned to IANA by the IEEE Registration Authority.

The following values have been registered for the Unit_SW_Version:
