+description           LLDP allows you to know exactly on which port is a \
+                      machine (and reciprocally).
+long_description      lldpd is an 802.1ab implementation (LLDP) to help you \
+                      locate neighbors of all your equipments.  Proprietary \
+                      protocols (like EDP and CDP) are supported. \
