Hi All,

Our company (Mitel) has developed an LLDP-MED plug-in for Ethereal. I have attached the source code for comments, suggestions and submission.


Question: Why build it as a plugin?

Why not? It makes developing the code much easier, as you don't have to relink all of ethereal (which is /huge/!)
