The OpenLLDP project aims to provide a comprehensive implementation of the
IEEE standard 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol. 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).
