I recommend PlanetLab apply for its own ID.  Information is here:

http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/index.shtml
http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/forms/

It may be the case that Princeton University will have to (or should)
get a number and then carve out some of the space to CS / PlanetLab.
The IEEE rarely lets an organization have a per-project ID.
