All,
Here's an update to ladvd. This is what the author says :
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've just released ladvd 0.8, which supports receive mode and a host
of other features resulting from that.
* privilege separation
* SIOCSIFDESCR support (the -z option)
* Automatic protocol enablling based on received packets (-a)
* syslog notifications for new/removed peers (-r)
* EDP support
* FDP support
* NDP / SoNMP support
* abstracted protocol support
* rewritten netif and message lists
* some strict alignment fixes
* unit-tests including extensive protol tests
This release has been (unit-)tested on Linux (amd64, arm), FreeBSD
(i386, amd64) and OpenBSD (amd64, sparc64, vax).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So, the code has been tested on amd64, sparc64 and vax. This port
update was tested on amd64. Now with WANTLIB update (thanks, Stuart).
Test reports welcome. Comments ? OK's ?

-LADVD uses CDP / LLDP frames to inform switches about connected hosts,

-a raw socket at startup, and then switching to a non-privileged user

-packets reflecting the current system state. Interfaces (bridge,
-trunk, wireless), capabilities (bridging, forwarding, wireless) and

+LADVD is an LLDP / CDP / EDP / FDP / NDP sender for UNIX.
+
+LADVD uses link-layer advertisements to inform switches about
+connected hosts, which simplifies Ethernet switch management. It does
+this forking into a privileged master which handles all raw sockets
+(and certain ioctls), and an unprivileged child which creates and
+parses all packets.
+
+Every 30 seconds the child generates advertisement frames reflecting
+the current system state. Interfaces (bridge, bonding, wireless),
+capabilities (bridging, forwarding, wireless) and addresses (IPv4,
+IPv6) are detected dynamically. Secondly ladvd can listen for incoming
+frames and utilize these for various features (protocol auto-enable,
+logging, interface descriptions).
