This package is a development release of Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) enhancements to Intel's Data Center Bridging (DCB) software (the former dcbd package). The new package is called lldpad. lldpad adds additional LLDP TLV support for all ports in addition to DCBX support on the DCB capable ports (as was provided by dcbd). DCB is a collection of emerging standards-based technologies designed to allow Ethernet to support multiple types of traffic classes in the Data Center. This release of the package is designed to work with the DCB kernel interface and ixgbe driver that are included in the Linux kernel 2.6.29 or higher. Files included in this release: lldpad-0.9.32.tar.gz - includes source code for lldpad, lldptool and dcbtool. lldpad is a an LLDP agent which supports LLDP TLVs for all ports and DCBX for DCB capable ports. lldptool and dcbtool provide LLDP and DCB management capabilities. Changes from 0.9.29 include: - lldpad: sets operstate of DCB interfaces to IF_OPER_DORMANT until DCBX exchange is completed - lldptool: get/set the LLDP-MED devtype - default value is 'none' - lldptool: print out readable (non-hex) TLV contents for gettlv command - lldpad: -k option kills first instance of lldpad PID saved in shm - lldpad: save/restore chassisid/portid from shm - lldpad: send LLDP shutdown when lldpad terminates for non-DCB ports - lldpad: fixes to avoid missing rtnetlink event messages
