+1 on it depends. IMO, I would prefer LLDP vs. a vendor proprietary discovery
protocol. Where you intend to run it in your network is a major factor for
risk.
Also, you forgot to add LLDP-MED to #5 (but it might not be relevant to your
services).

Thank you both for the feedback.
I left out the "it depends" because it is more suited to a conversation
or email thread like this than to a quick survey. I'm aware of a few
reasons for which "it depends" and I'm learning a few more from the
feedback I'm getting.

The problem with your survey is that there’s no option to answer “it depends”.
Hard yes or no answers aren’t realistic to the questions you’re asking because
the context,
security parameters, sensitivity, and other parameters about the network all
factor into a
decision whether to run or not run
Hello,

I would appreciate if you could spend a minute answering this
survey so I have some numbers to back up my reasoning, or to accept
defeat.
