i was not aware that bssid/macs were topologically assigned.  i thought
they were mfr based.  i guess slaac can be used to confuddle the two. :)
 
A fair hit, but topologically- or physical device- based are
both broken solutions IMNSHO. I understand that the IETF NOC
has to deal with it pragmatically, but let's not imagine that
there's any real fix for intrinsic breakage.
