Well, the only way I see of uniquely and securely determining if this is the
network you want is not an easy problem-- it would require changes in a lot
of routing infrastructure...
In any case, I can't think of another ID -likely- to be unique on the
network.

Really? Even though there is hardware out there that lets the user
manually assign the MAC and that there are routers out there that
"spoof" MACs for use with broadband ISP access controls?
