Correct me if I am wrong, but, I understand that the MAC address is left unchanged and can be used to identify the source.
The MAC address is only used on the local LAN in a way. When I send a packet to my default gateway it strips the frame off and adds its own other frame for the next network type. So let's say the network is like this: Host A ---> Ethernet LAN ---> router A ---> Frame Relay ----> router B ---> Ethernet LAN ---> host B If host A sends a packet to host B the destination MAC address is the MAC address of router A for its Ethernet interface. When host B receives the packet the source MAC address will be the one of router B's Ethernet interface.
