[OPNFLWPLUG-225] Migrate LLDP discovery plugin to new packet processing pipeline

Mon, 27 Sep 2021 09:01:16 +0000

org.opendaylight.md.controller.topology.lldp.utils.LLDPDiscoveryUtils.lldpToNodeConnectorRef():

import org.opendaylight.controller.sal.packet.Ethernet;
import org.opendaylight.controller.sal.packet.LLDP;
import org.opendaylight.controller.sal.packet.LLDPTLV;

just to discover whether the packet is LLDP or not. This kills packetin performance in cbench runs.

With the new packet processing pipeline, we should be able to do much better than to completely parse each packet that comes along.
