 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.
