MAC Addressing

Perhaps I’m missing something, but MAC addressing seems to be missing from Dude. It’s all well and good to be able to see/identify by IP address, however these addresses can and do change for users as clients enter and leave a network. The only true identifier that can be permanently linked to equipment is the MAC address and this doesn’t seem possible under Dude.

Is there a way of having Dude identify and display CPE by MAC address? Advice would be appreciated.

As far as I know IP address should be the main identifier for host. MAC-address information is not translated over public networks, communication using MAC-addresses occurs only on local network borders. Dude or any other software is unable to get MAC-address from the devices, that are not connected to the same broadcast domail (local network) with monitoring device.
