Link Layer Discovery Protocol

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_Layer_Discovery_Protocol
Would like to have a tool to listen similar to what is done with cdpr for
broadcasts of Cisco Discovery Protocol.
LLDP is a layer two discovery protocol, similar to Cisco's CDP. The big
difference between the two is that LLDP is a standard while CDP is a Cisco
proprietary protocol. Cisco devices support the IEEE 802.1ab version of
LLDP. This allows non-Cisco devices to advertise information about
themselves to our network devices.
An lldpd client would also be nice to have on the Mac so didn't have to
find else and compile from source.
