    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system and method are disclosed for receiving, at a first network routing element, a discovery message sent via a network, where the discovery message comprises identifying information that identifies a physical location of a first network device. The method modifies the identifying information in the discovery message by adding additional information to the identifying information, where the additional information can, for example, identify a physical location of the first network routing element. Subsequent to modifying the identifying information, the method forwards the discovery message to a network element, where the network element can be, for example, either a second network routing element or a server.
