Hey Greg,

I don't think this is about liveness or connectivity verification.

It is all about physical topology discovery at L2 without one of two
popular link state protocol which today do the job just fine. Whoever is
asking for it is however correct that we don't have a protocol independent
way of discovering Ethernet topologies. If it is a feature or a drawback
remains to be seen.

I was observing identical struggle in OF .. as expected it failed pretty
badly !

Just to note L3 BGP Hellos to discover topology is terrible idea even worse
then LLDP one.

Thx,
R.
