LLDP is interesting, but, as you mentioned, the enforcement function might
be one of several intermediate devices...

ICMP has a few benefits.. It contains entropy by quoting original packet
headers and UEs already get ICMP for a variety of network conditions (no
route, needs frag, port unavailable, administratively prohibited) -- Is
'Captive portal required' so different?
