There isn't really a restriction that a downstream device will only have one mac address.

It might be another switch. Even if it's not; VM/container networking is often implemented by bridging the host's NIC to a virtual switch, exposing the MAC addresses of all VMs/containers to the network.

Right, which is why the tiny 4 entry MAC table might be a problem.
