Global Who-Is requests are important to ensure all of the devices on your system are accounted for. However, if they occur too often they can clog the system with all of the I-Am replies. It is important to know if they are being sent out too frequently.

Unfortunately, finding the root of these duplicate device IDs is very difficult, and nearly impossible in Wireshark.
