If you don't need it, disable it.  If you don't know what it does,
disable it.  That's just standard "best practice" type stuff.

I've never not disabled this protocol and I've never needed to
re-enable it for any reason.

Microsoft has included link layer topology discovery protocol on Windows Vista and 2008.  It seems to me that this

of a domain enumerating is turned off by default.  However it looks like the responder is active and listening.

Does anyone know how secure this protocol is or should I go with my gut instinct and disable it completely.
