Mommy, where do MAC addresses come from?
It sounds like we can blame the DIX for not abandoning the OSI model when they had a chance! :)
Srsly. Ethernet violated the model, so they twisted definitions to make them fit. They should've just declared that Ethernet had MAC and PHY and discarded any mention of OSI.
