 ''In order for client machines (PC's) to connect to the internet an IP address must be used as an identifier. Usually a DHCP server/router will give out client IP address using a random IP address from an address pool but because we want control the bandwidth of a clients PC we must give the client the same IP address each time a network connection is made. Gargoyle does this by checking the client PC's MAC address then assigning the same IP address.'' ''In order for client machines (PC's) to connect to the internet an IP address must be used as an identifier.
