EUI-48 and EUI-64 identifiers are most commonly used as globally unique network addresses (sometimes called MAC addresses), as specified in various standards. For example, an EUI- 48 is commonly used as the address of a hardware interface according to IEEE Std 802, historically using the name “MAC-48”.
What is the difference between a MAC address and a EUI-48 address?
The distinction between EUI-48 and MAC-48 identifiers is in name and application only. MAC-48 was used to address hardware interfaces within existing 802-based networking applications; EUI-48 is now used for 802-based networking and is also used to identify other devices and software, for example Bluetooth.

What is Eui-64 used for?
EUI-64 (Extended Unique Identifier) is a method we can use to automatically configure IPv6 host addresses. An IPv6 device will use the MAC address of its interface to generate a unique 64-bit interface ID.
