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.
