Keep a list of 'discovered' DHCP servers and their mac addresses in a table.
Usually, the LAN mac address of the consumer routers is one off from the WAN
mac address, so we should be able to quickly identify who has plugged their
router in backwards.

Subject: [WISPA] Cool ideas for RouterOS....
I'd like to throw this out for the weekend. I want to gather some ideas
for IMPLEMENTATIONS you'd like to see with existing RouterOS technology.
I have a few that I can think of off the top of my head that I will try to
get documented (some possibly for free - to be posted on my website). For
example:
1. Automated virus detection - this application would need to be able to
detect virus like activity (whatever that means) and automatically cause
the offender - if they are on-net - to be disconnected except for the
ability to visit http://housecall.antivirus.com and test to see if they
have removed the virus(es) before allowing full access again.
2. Automatically build a list of valid SMTP servers based on servers that
have been used to check email (I've done this one several times). This
will prevent those viruses and spam trojans from getting your IP
blacklisted if you NAT.
3. Queue mechanism that implements an automated fair access policy
(similar to what some of the satellite companies do) - I have done
something SIMILAR to this, but implementing this properly will take a bit
more work.
OK...So I've got you started...now step forth with your ideas (either
implemented already or just a "wish-list") and let's come up with some
really cool stuff! While we're at it, you can let me know what you think
of the above ideas...are they worth the effort?
