Hello, LLDP is more and more available on various network elements (endpoint, switches, ...). It seems to ease network configuration. Do you have any experience with it ? How would you rate LLDP ?

If you have a network that doesn't support CDP (such as an all Juniper network), LLDP will do the job for you, as long as your phone supports it. The latest Polycom sip firmware supports it (but none of their older phones can run the new firmware, just the newer ones), as well as the latest bootrom. The Cisco 79x1 series and newer support it, but not the older 79x0 series. I believe I spoke with Aastra and Snom at the Astricon tradeshow and they said they support it on their newer models as well. LLDP is fine if you can't run CDP for whatever reason, the main sticking point is the phone support.
