+ * @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.
