Method Detail

bestAvailableMacback to summary
public static byte[] bestAvailableMac()

Obtains the best MAC address found on local network interfaces. Generally speaking, an active network interface used on public networks is better than a local network interface.

Returns:byte[]

byte array containing a MAC. null if no MAC can be found.

compareAddressesback to summary
pack-priv static int compareAddresses(byte[] current, byte[] candidate)
Returns:int

positive - current is better, 0 - cannot tell from MAC addr, negative - candidate is better.

compareAddressesback to summary
private static int compareAddresses(InetAddress current, InetAddress candidate)
Returns:int

positive - current is better, 0 - cannot tell, negative - candidate is better

defaultMachineIdback to summary
public static byte[] defaultMachineId()

Returns the result of bestAvailableMac() if non-null otherwise returns a random EUI-64 MAC address.

formatAddressback to summary
public static String formatAddress(byte[] addr)
Parameters
addr:byte[]

byte array of a MAC address.

Returns:String

hex formatted MAC address.

parseMACback to summary
public static byte[] parseMAC(String value)

Parse a EUI-48, MAC-48, or EUI-64 MAC address from a String and return it as a byte[].

Parameters
value:String

The string representation of the MAC address.

Returns:byte[]

The byte representation of the MAC address.
