They more than likely do it by MAC address. Its the same with any managed network environment. If you have say a 24 port managed switch and 23 ports have single PC's connected, then you will see just one MAC address per port. If you add another switch or hub to the port 24 and connect 4 PC's to that, then the port will display 4 MAC addresses for that physical port.
