  In Fedora, we already have LLDP receiver/broadcaster – ladvd.
It has this neat feature of abusing ifAlias by putting endpoint
name there.  This gives port information right at "ip l" output:

3: enp5s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 
    link/ether 10:78:d2:cc:7e:b0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    alias connected to Core2-3b-24p (Fa0/7)

  Would it be possible to implement this in networkd?
