There is one mistake in the picture... the NHDP link does not go from
the router to the other sides modem, it goes from router to router.

Which means that DLEP has to announce layer2 neighbor metrics based on
the MAC address of the router BEHIND the DLEP radio.

In your illustration the "left" DLEP agent  has to announce neighbor
data for MAC aa:03.

The MAC addresses of the radios are not used in DLEP at all.
