A computer-implemented method comprising: (i) defining a new ethertype to be used in communicating PIDs (process identification codes), with the new ethertype being assigned a new ethertype code; (ii) determining a selected abstraction layer from a plurality of abstraction layers to be used in communicating PIDs; and (iii) making a plurality of network communications among and between computers of a networked computers system, with each communication, with the making of each given communication including: (a) inserting the new ethertype code and a PID of a process causing the given communication to occur into a data structure, and (b) communicating the data structure between computers of the networked computers system at the selected abstraction layer.
