Hi david,
I worked on your guidelines and I am interested in neighbor discovery
using LLDP and CDP[1].I worked on this when i study network discovery
tool called nedi[2]. Using LLDP we can get details about remote host i
have given MIB details here[3]
also i am interested in IPv6 because ip am doing my final year project
on XLAT[4] which is related to IPv6 deployment. Can you point me to
new script ideas related to IPv6.
and how many script ideas do we need to include in our proposal and do
i need to give a initial script i wish to implement
thank you
