I'm sorry, but I just went through a search and I can't find anywhere that says what you stated above. Everything I have read so far makes mention that a MAC Address is undiscoverable outside of a Network unless something is being used to actually broadcast it. I don't see anywhere that states a MAC Address is included in a TCP/IP/UDP packet. There is talk of MAC Layering in older network systems, like FDDI and Token Ring, but that is now all obsolete.
I'd love to know more about all this.

Hi Danny,
I saw it... and you're right. MAC addresses are undiscoverable outside of a LAN unless something is being used to broadcast it.
