    LLDP Service for Windows

  • There are applications to listen like LDWin, but frankly, for port diagnostic purposes or manual debugging, it's just as easy to fire up tcpdump or Wireshark and watch for LLDP or CDP packets. What's more interesting is when you have hosts sending LLDP for Layer-2 adjacency tracing. On Linux/POSIX we prefer lldpd, and here's one for Windows. It requires a signed PCAP driver.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
