Hi Jeronimo,
As Emmet and Jim has mentioned, the clientside could have discretionary
sub net structure and MAC address only make sense for the clientside's
local network area. In fact, the subnet is just used for local network area
and is not visible to the external network. If your application's client
side are all in the same local network environment, that'll make some sense.
Thanks,

| The client MAY not even have a MAC address, they could be using a
protocol
