XNS

Consists of a network address followed by a MAC address. The

 

 

 

network address distinguishes between different XNS Ethernet

 

 

 

networks. It contains eight hexadecimal digits, and is preceded by an

 

 

 

ampersand (&), which is used for identification. Leading zeros can be

 

 

 

omitted. The following addresses are the same:

 

 

 

&3333%080002001326

 

 

 

&00003333%080002001326
