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