Why would the MAC addresses appear in this order?
Why would the MAC addresses appear in this order? A switch can begin forwarding a frame to a known MAC address more quickly if the destination is listed first. Every time that the PDU was sent between the 10 network and the 172 network, there was a point where the MAC addresses suddenly changed.

Which is the second bit of the MAC address?
Bit 2 (registry): The second bit of the MAC address indicates whether it is an address with global validity (universal) or whether the address has been assigned locally (local). The bit is called U/L. If U/L = 0, the address is valid worldwide as a universally administered address (UAA).
Are there any devices that do not need a MAC address?
Network devices that are only used to forward data packets (repeaters) or manage parts of the network (bridges and switches) usually do not actively participate in network communication and so do not require their own MAC addresses.
