I googled CDP: Cisco Discovery Protocol and from Wikipedia, I found there is a replacement protocol from IEEE called LLDP: Link Layer Discovery Protocol and HP removed the support for CDP since February 2006 replaced by LLDP!!
Also, if you look to CDP, any devices connected with Cisco devices, the CDP will share the operating system and IP address for those devices which means "stealing somehow" the data from other vendors and that's why HP realized that, Am I right or not and does Cisco use LLDP and CDP together or is it part of the monopoly game!
