CDP entry flush packet

Dear Wireshark developers,

It seems that Cisco uses CDP packet with capability 0 and Null platform string
to force CDP entry aging on neighboring device during reload. Below is the
debug log on neighboring device during reload:

*Aug 19 20:32:04.434: CDP-PA: Packet received from Router on interface
Ethernet0/2
*Aug 19 20:32:04.434: **Entry  found in cache**
*Aug 19 20:32:04.434: CDP-EV: Packet Received from Router with capability = 0
and Platform string =  on interface Ethernet0/2
*Aug 19 20:32:05.409: CDP-AD: Aging entry for Router, on interface Ethernet0/2
*Aug 19 20:32:05.409: CDP-EV: Notify registered clients about the entry
deletion from CDP cache for Ethernet0/2

I've convinced that CDP entry aged immediately on neighboring device. The
packet is attached. Thanks in advance!
