Lets say your colleague happens to be offline. What now?
You could ask them to get towards their computer, but that is lame and requires a bit of social skills. Instead we go for a overly complicated technical solution.
Clients exchange MAC and IP information (despite not required for chatting)
One of the machines in the "network" goes offline

Try step 3 again and succeed (hopefully)
