The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Version 4 Relay Agent Flags Suboption
RFC 5010, “The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Version 4 Relay Agent Flags Suboption”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2007 by K. Kinnear, M. Normoyle, M. Stapp. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This memo defines a new suboption of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) relay agent information option that allows the DHCP relay to specify flags for the forwarded packet. One flag is defined to indicate whether the DHCP relay received the packet via a unicast or broadcast packet. This information may be used by the DHCP server to better serve clients based on whether their request was originally broadcast or unicast. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
