Other manufacturers used by WISPs also use the CDP protocol, e.g. Mikrotik and 
Ubiquiti.  But apparently the Cisco vulnerability is in the implementation 
(e.g. buffer overflow) rather than the protocol itself.

That doesn’t mean the other vendors don’t have similar vulnerabilities.  We 
should probably have CDP disabled on most interfaces of Mikrotik and Cisco 
routers anyway, certainly those facing the public Internet and those facing 
customers.
