Number of times to repeat LLDP frame transmission at fast start
          
Rapid startup and Emergency Call Service Location Identification
Discovery of endpoints is a critically important aspect of VoIP systems
in general. In addition, it is best to advertise only those pieces of
information which are specifically relevant to particular endpoint
types (for example only advertise the voice network policy to permitted
voice-capable devices), both in order to conserve the limited LLDPU
space and to reduce security and system integrity issues that can come
with inappropriate knowledge of the network policy.
          
With this in mind LLDP-MED defines an LLDP-MED Fast Start interaction
between the protocol and the application layers on top of the protocol,
in order to achieve these related properties. Initially, a Network
Connectivity Device will only transmit LLDP TLVs in an LLDPDU. Only
after an LLDP-MED Endpoint Device is detected, will an LLDP-MED capable
Network Connectivity Device start to advertise LLDP-MED TLVs in
outgoing LLDPDUs on the associated port. The LLDP-MED application will
temporarily speed up the transmission of the LLDPDU to start within a
second, when a new LLDP-MED neighbor has been detected in order share
LLDP-MED information as fast as possible to new neighbors.
          
Because there is a risk of an LLDP frame being lost during transmission
between neighbors, it is recommended to repeat the fast start
transmission multiple times to increase the possibility of the
neighbors receiving the LLDP frame. With fast start repeat count it is
possible to specify the number of times the fast start transmission
would be repeated. The recommended value is 4 times, given that 4 LLDP
frames with a 1 second interval will be transmitted, when an LLDP frame
with new information is received.
          
It should be noted that LLDP-MED and the LLDP-MED Fast Start mechanism
is only intended to run on links between LLDP-MED Network Connectivity
Devices and Endpoint Devices, and as such does not apply to links
between LAN infrastructure elements, including Network Connectivity
Devices, or other types of links.
