I believe it was more of a library that could be used by any project for LLDP protocol packets - even though it's currently used only by OpenFlow Plugin. Hence we thought a central place would be better. Otherwise I don't see much problem in putting it into OpenFlow Plugin.

I'm happy either way. The fact that lldp "is a protocol" doesn't seem like a compelling argument for why it can't go in the OpenFlow plugin project to me, but maybe I'm missing something. 

Abhijit, is there something I'm missing for why it shouldn't go in OpenFlow plugin?

Thanks! I take it the conclusion was that this shouldn't be part of the OpenFlow plugin project?

The discussion leaned to a new project. I think moving to openflowplugin would be easiest, but lldp is a protocol and doesn't make sense to be there.

Hello TSC,

I have included the liblldp to the list of project proposals. I would like to start the two week discussion.

This proposal is contingent on the plan to spin out the liblldp project from the controller. The goal was to get this started so we can get this started if we wanted it in for the nitrogen release.

Thanks, Sam
