According to your design page (reposted for context):
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/lld/design/
You have timer-type parameters in the lldp-global/ space. I'm guessing that
since you can instantiate link-specific versions of these as mentioned in the
lldp-<i>link</i> section of your above design page, you want a place where
systemwide default values live.

IMHO SMF is an *optimal* place to put such systemwide defaults. Just make
sure you document them in the lldd(1M) man page appropriately, and mention
the the order of preference is:
1.) link-specific (per Jim's rbridges-inspired suggestion with
dladm).
2.) SMF
That's my $0.02 anyway...
