Bandwidth 1544 vs 1536

What is the correct way to interpret Serial interface bandwidth. Usually, it
is said that by default Serial interface bandwidth is equivalent to T1
bandwidth.

It doesn't seem to be correct since the T1 bandwidth is 1536000 64000KB x 24
Channels, and the serial port bandwidth is 1544000.

Two Questions:

1) If the tasks states the T1 bandwidth so should we change the serial port
bandwidth from 1544 to 1536 or leave it alone.

2) In a lab environment, we usually use DCE/DTE cable and whatever the
clockrate is configured for it that fast the link would be then. If I
configure my clock rate 64000KB then it is obvious that the DCE/DTE would be
sending bits at the rate of 64000 bits per second regardless of what the
bandwidth parameters are set for.

I am confused how I would actually configure unequal cost load-balancing for
EIGRP.

The task states to use the T1 bandwidth so I must change the default serial
bandwidth from 1544 to 1536, but the clock rate I configured is only 64000KB.
The question how should I go about configuring load-balancing by keeping
everybody happy.

Regard,

Ahmed
