Abstract
A method of identifying intermediate devices within a communications network includes intercepting a network data packet originating from a second compute device, and parsing the network data packet to identify a client hardware MAC address of the at least one network data packet. The identified client hardware MAC address is compared with a source MAC address stored in a memory operably coupled to the processor, and no match is found. The second compute device is classified as an intermediate device based on the lack of a match between the identified client hardware MAC address and the source MAC address.
