A search of the RFC index came up with something interesting - RFC 2701 - Nortel multilink and multinode of PPP. Don't have time to read to see if this is something similar to CDP Searches on CDP came up empty. Searches on "Cisco" ( think that someone from Cisco would have written such an RFC ) came up with nothing resembling CDP, but did reveal HSRP - RFC 2281 Some kind of CDP would certainly be useful in a multivendor environment.

I found it on cisco's web site. Aparently Cisco created a = CDP driver for Win2k and call manager....I was really hoping that = someone jumped on the CDP bandwagon...
