17  * @brief Glean Adjacency
18  *
19  * A gleean adjacency represent the need to discover new peers on an
20  * attached link. Packets that hit a glean adjacency will generate an
21  * ARP/ND packet addessesed to the packet's destination address.
22  * Note this is different to an incomplete neighbour adjacency, which
23  * does not send ARP/ND requests to the packet's destination address,
24  * but instead to the next-hop address of the adjacency itself.
