MAC addresses for some Xen virtual machines begin with the octets 00:16:3E; the final three
octets are chosen arbitrarily.

Likewise, MAC addresses for some KVM virtual machines begin with the octets 52:54:00; the
final three octets are also chosen arbitrarily.

A convention used in this map is that the value of the last two (hexadecimal) digits of the MAC
address matches the (decimal) value of the host name. For example, a host named vm011, would
correlate to a MAC address ending with the octet 0B.
