Most modern client devices may now support, random hardware address aka randomized mac addresses.
From an I.T op perspective, this may cause DHCP pool exhaustion issues.
From a user perspective, they may not know what issues this may cause, besides a "I can't connect to the network anymore" issue.
This maybe of interest too, https://github.com/SystemJargon/mac-changer
Here is repo I'm using:

And links to files look like this:
| #Requires -RunAsAdministrator | |
| # Unlock-PowerCfg - v22.05.11 | |
| # Disable "Connected Standby" | |
| Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power' -Name 'CSEnabled' -Value 0 -Force | |
| # Get Power Settings entries and add/set 'Attributes' to 2 to unhide | |
| $PowerCfg = (Get-ChildItem 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings' -Recurse).Name -notmatch '\bDefaultPowerSchemeValues|(\\[0-9]|\b255)$' | |

⚠️ Note 2023-01-21
Some things have changed since I originally wrote this in 2016. I have updated a few minor details, and the advice is still broadly the same, but there are some new Cloudflare features you can (and should) take advantage of. In particular, pay attention to Trevor Stevens' comment here from 22 January 2022, and Matt Stenson's useful caching advice. In addition, Backblaze, with whom Cloudflare are a Bandwidth Alliance partner, have published their own guide detailing how to use Cloudflare's Web Workers to cache content from B2 private buckets. That is worth reading,
