Hi, This series of patches contains the second part of an initial implementation of the IEEE 802.1Qbg standard: code for the exchange of VDP VSI TLVs between a host with virtual machines and an adjacent switch. VDP profiles consisting of mode,mgrid,typeid,typeidversion,instanceid,mac,vlan can be given to lldpad with lldptool. A way to deliver profiles to lldpad from libvirt using netlink messages is currently under development and not yet included in this series. The profiles are then processed through the VDP/VSI and ECP state machines and sent out as ECP frames. ACK frames are received and processed through ECP and VDP/VSI state machines. It implements a bridge role for a port together with a lldptool command to switch a port to the bridge role. The patch applies to lldpad 0.9.34 and still contains code to log low-level protocol activity more verbosely than it would be necessary in the final version. Things that are still missing but planned: - adapt to final ECP ethertype. code currently uses extended ethertype (0x88b7) plus OUI. - more testing Next steps - interface to allow registration of profiles with libvirt - implementation of CDCP Please review and comment !
