If assigned by the  manufacturer, a MAC address usually encodes the manufacturer's  registered identification number and may be referred to as the burned-in address. It may also be known as an Ethernet hardware address (EHA), hardware address or physical address. A <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_node" target="_blank">network node</a> may have multiple NICs and will then have one unique MAC address per NIC.</blockquote>
