+ The Ethernet MAC is modelled as a fixed-size container/sequence of 6 bytes. A MACAddress can
+ be converted from/to the following representations
+
+ <table class="senf">
+ <tr><td><tt>boost::uint64_t</tt></td>
+ <td><tt>senf::MACAddress(0x112233445566ull)</tt><br/>
+ <i>mac</i><tt>.uint64()</tt></td></tr>
+ <tr><td><tt>std::string</tt></td>
+ <td><tt>senf::MACAddress::from_string("11:22:33:44:55:66")</tt><br/>
+ <tt>senf::str(</tt><i>mac</i><tt>)</tt></td></tr>
+ <tr><td><i>raw data</i><br/> (6 bytes)</td>
+ <td><tt>senf::MACAddress::from_data(</tt><i>iterator</i><tt>)</tt><br/>
+ <i>mac</i><tt>.begin()</tt></td></tr>
+ <tr><td>senf::EUI64</td>
+ <td><tt>senf::MACAddress::from_eui64(</tt><i>eui64</i><tt>)</tt><br/>
+ <tt>senf::EUI64::from_mac(</tt><i>mac</i><tt>)</tt></td></tr>
+ </table>
+
+ Since MACAddress is based on \c boost::array, you can access the raw data bytes of the
+ address using \c begin(), \c end() or \c operator[]:
+ \code
+ senf::MACAddress mac (...);
+ std::vector<char> data;
+ data.resize(6);
+ std::copy(mac.begin(), mac.end(), data.begin()); // Copy 6 bytes
+ \endcode
\implementation We awkwardly need to use static named constructors (<tt>from_</tt> members)
instead of ordinarily overloaded constructors for one simple reason: <tt>char *</tt>
