Re: Question - Network Registry.

[Ced Bennett <Ced.Bennett () STANFORD EDU>]

Tracy:
Yes, Stanford registers all MAC addresses, owners, and those who support
them in a single, central database (managed by our Networking group).  Our
residential computing folks also maintain the same information along with
other data of interest to them in a separate database - we keep them
synchronized by having one update the other.  

Cheers, Ced
