11Description: implementation of IEEE 802.1ab (LLDP)
12 This implementation provides LLDP sending and reception, supports
13 VLAN and includes an SNMP subagent that can interface to an SNMP
14 agent through AgentX protocol.
15 .
16 LLDP is an industry standard protocol designed to supplant
17 proprietary Link-Layer protocols such as Extreme's EDP (Extreme
18 Discovery Protocol) and CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol). The goal of
19 LLDP is to provide an inter-vendor compatible mechanism to deliver
20 Link-Layer notifications to adjacent network devices.

23 protocol.
