  Description     : cdp / lldp sender for unix

ladvd uses cdp / lldp frames to inform switches about connected hosts,
which simplifies ethernet switch management. It does this by creating
a raw socket at startup, and then switching to a non-privileged user for the
remaining runtime. Every 30 seconds it will transmit CDP/LLDP packets
reflecting the current system state. Interfaces (bridge, bonding, wireless),
capabilities (bridging, forwarding, wireless) and addresses (IPv4, IPv6)
are detected dynamically.
