You can discover the users MAC address from any incoming switch device and it doesn’t matter where they are on the Net ..Every single device in the world has it’s own individual MAC address.. This is the basis of 802.1x security.

Actually, MAC addresses are useful for wireless security, that’s true. But they’re quite easy to change or spoof, and no more reliable than IP addresses for identifying individuals over the web.
