ESP-NOW, custom OUI
Posted: Thu Dec 08, 2022 12:26 pm
ESP-NOW ist using Espressif OUI 0x18fe34 at two positions:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| MAC Header | Category Code | Organization Identifier | Random Values | Vendor Specific Content | FCS |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Element ID | Length | Organization Identifier | Type | Version | Body |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(found here: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... p_now.html)
The API just allows sending the Body. But it would be very important to send the Vendor Specific Content with an own IEEE-SA registered OUI.
Sending and receiving with an own OUI will simplify sorting out foreign ESP-NOW frames from other vendors and/or applications.
