2015-10-02lldp: fix parsing of TLV lengthBeniamino Galvani
tlv_packet_read_bytes() and tlv_packet_read_string() returned the wrong length when called after other functions which modify the offset in the container. In other words, if the TLV data length is X and we do a tlv_packet_read_u8(), a subsequent tlv_packet_read_bytes() should return a length of (X - 1).

2015-10-02lldp: add support for organizationally specific TLVsBeniamino Galvani
LLDP TLVs of type 127 are used to carry organizationally specific information and include additional fields to specify the OUI and subtype. Add support for parsing such fields and functions to access the most common IEEE 802.1 specific TLVs.

2015-10-02lldp: add sd_lldp_tlv_packet_get_destination_type()Beniamino Galvani
It can be useful to know the destination address of a LLDP frame because it determines the scope of propagation of the frame and thus this information be used to know whether the neighbor is connected to the same physical link. See clause 7.1 of IEEE Std 802.1AB-2009.
2015-10-02lldp: move TLV related functions to lldp-tlv.cBeniamino Galvani
Move some public functions from lldp-internal.c to lldp-tlv.c, as now they are not internal functions anymore.
2015-10-02lldp: export opaque TLV type and accessor functionsBeniamino Galvani
Export struct tlv_packet as a public opaque sd_lldp_packet type and make its accessor functions public.
2015-10-02lldp: add reference counter to struct tlv_packetBeniamino Galvani
Add a reference counter to the tlv_packet structure so that it can be shared between multiple users and properly free'd when no longer in use.

2014-12-19networkd: Introduce Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)Susant Sahani
This patch introduces LLDP support to networkd. it implements the receiver side of the protocol. The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is an industry-standard, vendor-neutral method to allow networked devices to advertise capabilities, identity, and other information onto a LAN. The Layer 2 protocol, detailed in IEEE 802.1AB-2005.LLDP allows network devices that operate at the lower layers of a protocol stack (such as Layer 2 bridges and switches) to learn some of the capabilities and characteristics of LAN devices available to higher layer protocols.
