MAC Address for Layer 3 Link Local Discovery Protocol (LLDP)

IEEE 802 has defined a number of protocols which can operate between adjacent Ethernet stations at Layer 2, including bridges, and may be useful between Layer 3 aware stations such as IP routers and hosts. An example is the Link Layer Discover Protocol (IEEE Std 802.1AB, LLDP). This document specifies a MAC address that can be used for this purpose for interoperability despite intervening bridges.
