| 3 | 1 | Gioacchino Mazzurco | Options like system.hostname, network.main_ipv4_address, network.main_ipv6_address, can be parametric so what the user write is a template of what the value will be, this page is about to try to define a flexible yet not complicated formalism for those templates. |

| 5 | 1 | Gioacchino Mazzurco | Old formalism provide just substitution by mac address byte but this is eventually quite limited and already showed limits, like the impossibility for the user to control the format in which the mac address byte should be represented. |

| 7 | 1 | Gioacchino Mazzurco | The new formalism should have following characteristics: |
| 8 | 1 | Gioacchino Mazzurco | > * Easy parsing just with "lua patterns":http://lua-users.org/wiki/PatternsTutorial |
| 9 | 1 | Gioacchino Mazzurco | > * Compact format |
| 10 | 1 | Gioacchino Mazzurco | > * Possibility to take byte from mac address |
| 11 | 1 | Gioacchino Mazzurco | > * Possibility to take randoms byte |
| 12 | 1 | Gioacchino Mazzurco | > * Possibility to choose the output format |

| 14 | 1 | Gioacchino Mazzurco | I was thinking a way to have bit level control but all ides I had needed too much complication of patterns syntax |
