From what I understand (and may be wrong), the DSLAM is what controls the DLM on a fibre line. Is the data stored there done on a per line basis or by MAC address of the cable modem?

I'm wondering what the effect of switching out my current modem with another (and possibly doing this multiple times) would be and thus what happens behind the scenes.

Salvaged a 2012 Eci/r from my old place today, thinking of putting OpenWRT on. Think it can be done without too much fiddling now.
