But what if you have to limit users IN your network to some bandwidth or prohibit some users use NAT (let them use proxy!) It's a problem when you have dhcp. You can use arp -S <IP> <MAC> to force machine with given <MAC> have <IP>. Even if another user will try to configure his machine to have that <IP> he won't be able to use it.
