Web Masquerade Based on the MAC Addresses : How to change the web contents without changing the corresponding uniform resource locators

Abstract

Web masquerade is defined as the network skill enabling to display various kinds of web contents on the monitors without changing URLs which are input into the web browsers. It is well known that there is a method of web masquerade which can change the web contents according to a change of the switchport to which a personal computer is directly connected. In this paper, we introduce another method of web masquerade which can change the web contents according to a change of the MAC address attached to a personal computer. In other words, we introduce the new system playing the role at the datalink layer which is analogous to the role being played by the vlan membership policy system at the network layer.
