Bug Description
If a device's CDP cache table goes from having entries to being empty, ipdevpoll will not delete the corresponding AdjacencyCandidate records.
This is because the sentinel that tells the AdjacencyManager that CDP has been processed is only posted by the ipdevpoll CDP plugin if the CDP cache table had any entries.
This may cause stale topology data to remain in NAV indefinitely, even when the corresponding interfaces are shutdown.
This may also be the case for LLDP; the LLDP plugin should also be examined.
