Why have large companies not run out of MAC addresses yet despite having only the last 3 bytes to assign?

Network Engineering

What I understand as facts : MAC address are globally unique. It has 48 bits (6 bytes). First 3 bytes are uniquely assigned to manufacturers by IEEE (aka Organizationally Unique Identifier). For example Apple's OUI is bcd074. Last 3 bytes are assigned by manufacturers to every NICs they produce. Each NIC the company produce must have a unique NIC. This makes every single NIC (regardless of manufacturer) in the whole world globally unique.

The Wall of Technical Debt

Mathias Verraes

Technical debt is a metaphor for all software design choices that turn out to be suboptimal, no longer valid, or just plain wrong. These choices incur a cost on future development, and the shortcuts taken today will later slow you down until you pay back the debt by fixing the problems. And its not only code: Artifacts like architecture, documentation, tests, and domain models can all suffer from technical debt.
