This is very interesting!

Your development is much more complete than my very limited
implementation, congrats!

That make sense, but you also apparently integrated some of the bits
that were in the core (I was thinking about the transport classes).
I won't speak for the core maintainers here, but that'd be great if you
could have used what was in the core.

What was preventing you to use the mechanisms/features that were already
there?
Is that you wanted to modify/add things on top of that?

So now that we have this module, is it time to remove all the cisco
stuff from the core, and leave only the base network device mechanism
(possibly enriched by some of the functionalities this module provides)?
