Re: 1 IP, Lots of devices (200+) - lets brainstorm

I'm not any more sure than they are, but they have discussed limiting the number of connections from a single IP. Mac Addresses are changed at every hop, so their server sees the MAC in every inbound packet as that of it's next hop gateway, so unless their client is proprietary and somehow tunnels the original MAC then that wouldn't be possible.

I am pretty sure the Mac address is grabbed in the browser session and the streams are tunneled to that browser/device session.
