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.
