1. A method comprising:
associating, by an edge device implemented in circuitry, a source identifier with a network device;
in response to determining that a telemetry packet indicates a source IP address matching the network device and the associating of the source identifier with the network device, modifying, by the edge device, the telemetry packet that indicates the source IP address to further indicate the source identifier; and
outputting, by the edge device, the modified telemetry packet, wherein the modified telemetry packet indicates the source IP address and further indicates the source identifier.
