Windows Vista-2008 LLTD

Microsoft has included link layer topology discovery protocol on Windows Vista and 2008.  It seems to me that this will 
just give hackers a convient tool for enumerating your network.  Now on Windows 2008 servers that are a member of a 
domain enumerating is turned off by default.  However it looks like the responder is active and listening.

Does anyone know how secure this protocol is or should I go with my gut instinct and disable it completely.
