Abstract
A method includes receiving a message having a message header at a network node, where the message header includes a source address field. The method also includes determining whether the message has been previously received at the network node using one or more bits of the source address field. The method further includes, upon a determination that the message has not been previously received at the network node, setting the one or more bits of the source address field to a specified value indicating that the message has been received at the network node. The one or more bits in the source address field are used in a manner that is contrary to original device specifications.
