-To ensure interoperability: Some internet service providers bind their service to a specific MAC address; if the user then changes their network card or intends to install a router, the service won't work anymore. Changing the MAC address of the new interface will solve the problem. ( re-read this thread )
Could you expand on the interoperability part, on what is it and how does binding of MAC id help ensure that?
This particular ISP (SSV) bind ethernet MAC address for authentication. So according to them if someone is using one machine then he must stick to that if he do not have router.
In the context above, what do you mean by the term 'interoperability' and how does binding a mac id help an isp achieve that?
