[squid-users] Unable log log mac address in Server

[Flashdown]

Hi Xavier,

it is a normal network behavior. The reason is we might believe that we use IP's in the local network. That of course is true, but in the local network the real end to end communication is done from & to MAC address (OSI Layer 2) when a IP-packet (layer 3) leaves the local network then target and source mac are unknown to the client and server. So they only know the IP's.
