Shared bandwidth on cloned MACS? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Hi all,
just wondering if anyone can explain this?
When you clone a MAC address for example a 20Mb config and both modems are online and downloading (in different UBR's obviously)
is the 20M download speed shared between the 2 modems or will both be able to receive a full 20M speed down and 1Mb up?

Also with the Traffic Management with VM is this also between the 2 modems? ( I suspect this will be true as VM will only see it as one MAC's traffic reaching the limit and cap it ?)

vm's method of capping is extremely stupid.

you are unlikely to be effected on both, they will each have their own caps and speeds.

so if both are online at the same time both will get full bandwidth ?
ie 20Mb down etc??
Thanks for reply and any further info Bad

So how is it monitored?
Each MAC on each UBR monitored for traffic?
