The method further includes generating a network service advertisement message including a service identifier, a service mode portion, and a service type portion. The method further includes-forwarding the network service advertisement message from a first system to one or more other systems via a network. The method further includes-incrementing a counter corresponding to a service mode and a service type pair of each network service advertisement message having a same service identifier. The method further includes, when the counter corresponding to a service mode and a service type pair reaches a predetermined value, blocking configuration of another service having the same service identifier value, service mode and service type as that corresponding to the counter that reached the predetermined value.
