Many network switches support LLDP and/or CDP which means that a system can be told where it is. There are several open source libraries available that would make it trivial to create a Windows service and Linux daemon (see: https://vincentbernat.github.com/lldpd/ and https://github.com/raspi/WinLLDPService)

This would make a useful enhancement for Location awareness.
