Description

The IEEE 802.1ab Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) defines a standard
method for Ethernet network devices, such as IP Phones, switches, and
routers to exchange information about their capabilities with other devices
and to store this information in a Management Information Base (MIB).
LLDP also enables the system administrator to view the entire network
infrastructure.
The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) developed the Link
Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)-Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED)
extension of 802.1ab LLDP for VoIP networks, as defined by ANSI/TIA-1057.
