You are looking at the wrong place. QUdpSocket is about hiding the layers 
below, not exposing them.
Why do you need the MAC-address of your peer??? Surely for TCP/UDP the IP-
address would be sufficient?
Honestly I don't really know a why to get the peers MAC address (except for 
looking at the log messages of my dhcp-server:)...
