Re: MAC address in Radacct

as the descriptin in RFC 2865 continues to say...
The actual format of the information is site or application
specific. UTF-8 encoded 10646 [7] characters are recommended, but
a robust implementation SHOULD support the field as
undistinguished octets.

The codification of the range of allowed usage of this field is
outside the scope of this specification.

I think you're seeing a Mac address, probably from a Wireless Access point
See RFC 3580....=20
though the originator didn't follow that format either, which calls for d=
ashes between hex bytes.
