<h1><i>lldpd</i>: a 802.1ab implementation</h1>
<p>
<abbr>LLDP</abbr> allows you to know exactly on which port is a
server (and reciprocally).
</p>
<p>
It is an industry standard protocol designed to supplant
proprietary Link-Layer protocols such as <abbr>EDP</abbr>
or <abbr>CDP</abbr>. The goal of <abbr>LLDP</abbr> is to provide
an inter-vendor compatible mechanism to deliver Link-Layer
notifications to adjacent network devices.
</p>
<p>
<code>lldpd</code> is an ISC-licensed implementation
of <abbr>LLDP</abbr> for various Unixes. It also supports some
proprietary protocols.
