A frame identifier running on a computing device generates identifier values and embeds the identifier values in a networking frame. The frame identifier also receives networking frames, and analyzes the received networking frames to identify a subset of received networking frames containing the identifier values. The identifier values indicate that corresponding received networking frames were originated from the network device. The frame identifier also discards the identified subset of received networking frames.
