Hi Adam, I have no good ideas on the problem with LLDP packets. I've tried various things in attempt to repeat the problem without any luck. Since these packet come from Peer/Tester (based on source MAC information), I think it would make sense to check ethtool priv flags while tests run running to see FW LLDP status. May be it is enabled and testing do not notice it (theoretically configuration is synced and checked to match after each test, so it should not be a problem). I think it would be useful to double-check on all interfaces of the NIC. Do you have any progress with run on ARM DUTs? Does it work? Please, let me know if you need any help and if something is blocking it to be moved forward and used on regular basis. Andrew.
