Re: [lwip-devel] LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) for PoE?

[Claudius Zingerli]

Hi Mark,

I've implemented LLDP with the MED extension to support PoE+. What is 
your current issue? LLDP itself is quite easy. Just make sure to safely 
inject and extract packets at layer 2. Exctraction can be based on 
Ethertype, injection with a mutex around netif.linkoutput.

Regards

Claudius
