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.
