Hi all,

I am still looking into DCBX support for iSCSI and potentially other networking 
applications. Previously I was only considering having the application be a 
client of the lldpad daemon, but it looks like the application priority 
information should be available from rtnetlink. Since rtnetlink is already 
often used by networking applications, it seems like a better fit to use that 
interface.

Right now, the only missing element seems to be an rtnetlink event that could 
be used to trigger the app to change priorities based on a change in the 
configuration. How important do you think it is to support dynamic changes to 
application priority? Is it essential for a first implementation?

I think that this approach results in better package and code dependencies. 
Many networking apps already rely on the rtnetlink interface, so this would be 
a natural extension of that.

Thanks to Eric Multanen for suggesting this approach.
