From 3ae837fd06da6028c49c18b3f41dc084333cc43a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sam Tannous Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2019 09:27:27 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] LLDPD should document system refresh timer (tx-interval * 20) In LLDPD, each port has its own timer to catch port-related changes and is modified by changing the tx-interval. LLDPD also starts another system based refresh timer on each port for changes like hostname. This is the tx-interval multiplied by 20. This needs to be documented.
