Methods, systems, and apparatuses for determining network identifiers
Methods, apparatuses, and systems are described for determining network devices associated with old, incorrect, or conflicting internet protocol (IP) addresses. A determination may be made that multiple network devices are associated with an IP address. The network device that is supposed to be associated with the IP address may be determined. The association between the IP address and the other network devices may be discontinued.
