This would be best done as a page which showed cdp/lldp/etc "links" as opposed to the core page, which his based on port descriptions. We already use this logic when drawing the map, so as not to draw links twice.

Maybe you could also include something about an A and Z side of
each link. This won't work directly with the port description
parsing, but you could easily make a group of A side links and
use the group for aggregation.
