"who would know just how long a MAC address is?"

I've been looking at them on NICs, adding them to DHCP databases and using them for simple authorizations in iptables (and prior equivalents) since, oh, 1992 or thereabouts. They weren't new then.

It would take me a moment to count them in my head, that's all. "aa, bb, cc, dd, ee, ff -- that's six bytes".
