Convert IPv6 to MAC address
MAC address (Media Access Control address) is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a physical network. On the other hand, IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) addresses are used to identify and locate devices on a network, providing an extended address space compared to IPv4.
While MAC addresses and IPv6 addresses serve different purposes in networking, in IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC), the Interface ID part of an IPv6 address is often derived from the MAC address.
