Usage of the MAC adr. is for monitoring users sign on from diff locations and PC's.
We are serving worldwide users, both employees and agents. The IP adr. is part of the verification
and the MAC adr. can be used for checking users change of PC. Sometimes users claim 'nothing is working'
and the reason for this could be an improperly configured (new) PC. Having the MAC makes us able to see
if the client has changed PC.

Any example of how to use an API to query the ARP ?

Possibly not directly, but you could use an API to query the OSs ARP
Tables with the IP Address you already have, and get the MAC Address
this way.

But what would you need the MAC Address for?
