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-0.9.29.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 0.9.26 include: - fixes for building with fcoe-utils - configure management address TLV via lldptool - remove use of C++ from DCBX protocol code - other reorganization due to conversion of dcbd to lldpad
