Re: MAC addr of CM or addr of device attached to CM ? It would have to be by the modem MAC. You realize how insanely simple it would be if they tracked by the LAN-side MAC for someone to simply clone in a new one and bam! empty cap bucket to use. Granted, that's putting it simply and they could add other checks if they wanted.
But it would be a piece of cake and extremely customer friendly to just track by the modem MAC. It's already tied near-permanently to the account and can't be changed except by a CSR for something like a modem swap and even then has a paper trail so a cap bucket can transfer over to a new modem if done the middle of the month. And the overhead introduced for such a thing would be far less than trying to jerry-rig a system to track by router/pc MAC or, god forbid, by IP alone.
