Description
An ICT provided a file that had a destination MAC address of 00:00:00:00:00. The schema validated this address.
The address of 00:00:00:00:00 is not a multicast address which means it can’t be used officially for GOOSE or SV. The question is should the schema validate that the MAC addresses are multicast addresses. The IOP group felt that validation could help prevent unintended errors.
