I had some time to look at draft-dlep-lid and there is one thing I am 
wondering about.

I wonder if leaving out the MAC TLV is a bit too tough on many DLEP 
implementations, we are talking about the "primary key" for the neighbors.

Whats about adding a "IP hops" TLV instead, which tells the router how 
many IP hops a neighbor is away?

Default value would be zero (briding distance), but routing radios would 
report something like 2 (two routers in between, one on each radio).

This value might also be useful later for "multihop routing" radios.
