Thanks for the pointer. HPOV claims their layer 2 discovery is independent of vendor-proprietary technology. The wishful-thinking I referred to was more about finding someone with enough cycles and perl chops that they might attempt to integrate the Bell Labs stuff into netdisco (as opposed to wishful-thinking that L2 discovery is possible without an L2 discovery protocol, though I have to admit to having my doubts).
