Canonical =Ethernet format NonCanonical=TokenRing and DLSW format.
1. Take each byte and translate to binary.
2. Then take each nibble and reverse the order and translate to hex.
3. Flip each nibble.
Here is an example
00-d0-97-85-88-00 hex Canonical
0000 0000-1101 0000-1001 0111-1000 0101-1000 1000-0000 0000 binary
0000 0000-1011 0000-1001 1110-0001 1010-0001 0001-0000 0000 reverse order at
each nibble
00-b0-9e-1a-11-00 convert to hex
00-0b-e9-a1-11-00 flip each nibble
00-0b-e9-a1-11-00 Non-canonical format
