Overview
Unidirectional Link Detection (UDLD) is a Layer 2-protocol that enables
devices connected through fiber-optic or twisted-pair Ethernet cables to
detect unidirectional links. A unidirectional link occurs whenever traffic from
a neighboring device is received by the local device, but traffic from the local
device is not received by the neighbor.
