+LLDP is an industry standard protocol designed to supplant
+proprietary Link-Layer protocols such as Extreme's EDP (Extreme
+Discovery Protocol) and CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol). The goal of
+LLDP is to provide an inter-vendor compatible mechanism to deliver
+Link-Layer notifications to adjacent network devices.
+
+This implementation provides LLDP sending and reception, supports
+VLAN and includes an SNMP subagent that can interface to an SNMP
+agent through AgentX protocol.
+
+This daemon is also able to deal with CDP, SONMP, FDP and EDP
+protocol. It also handles LLDP-MED extension.
