That is: take the string "2A:3B:01:9C:04:F0", split it in parts at each
":", iterate over them converting from hex to integer; the resulting list
is called data.
Then, pack the numbers using "6B" format.

I don't think you can do that with Python alone - that is, without using
some other specific tool like scapy.

Usually classes have UppercaseWords, and omit the word "class".
But since LLDP would be all uppercase, maybe another name would be better.
You appear to be storing just a few attributes, not implementing that
protocol, so maybe LLDPInfo might be used.

What should happen when subtipe is not 4? (Currently you get an error).
