While reading about TLV's on wikipedia[1], I came across a MAC discovery

works on 802.11, I think we have a winner :)
Okay, so I tested 4 open-source LLDP implementations

That is a valid question and has been debated several times already. The vis
server is a borderline case - the consensus is/was

mDNS solutions like avahi translate between hostnames and ips, while
batman visualization deals with MACs, and those cannot necessarily be
obtained from IPs (in some cases, ARP will help, but won't work in
interfaces without IPs)

to add this without breaking compatiblity would be adding a hostname

Flooding the network with arbitrary data like hostnames, service

I have some questions about the code though:
- Is there any reason vis_seq_print_text() allocates a buffer at all instead
of just printing the data directy into the seq_file? Looking at the
seq_printf implementation, there
