ABSTRACT:
A system and method of associating at least two communication devices is provided. First information identifying a first communication device and second information identifying a second communication device is received via a link layer protocol over a data network. It is determined if the first communication device and the second communication device are co-located based on first link layer data associated with the first communication device and second link layer data associated with the second communication device. An association is triggered between the first information and the second information if the first communication device and the second communication device are determined to be co-located.
