Abstract
A method for communicating in a network environment is provided that includes receiving a request packet and positioning an identifier into the request packet. The identifier may be identified and correlated to a source that generated the request packet. An internet protocol (IP) address associated with the source may be positioned in the request packet before communicating the request packet to a next destination.
