TL;DR: the router uses some math and so forth to tell both computers to slow down to the point that it’s not overloaded.
This is because people believe that faxes are “unhackable” because it’s just scanning a piece of paper and transmitting it to another machine that prints it out. They never think that you can photoshop a thing and then print it out and then fax it.
