Title : Appliance Class Identifier Option for DHCP
Author(s) : J. Aiello

The Appliance Class Identifier option is used by a Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client to identify the type of
appliance it is. The information contained in this option is an
opaque field that represents the appliance class of which the client
belongs. Based on this class, a DHCP server selects the appropriate
address pool to assign an address and the appropriate configuration
parameters to the client. The value of this option should be
selected by the appliance manufacturer and included in the DHCP
Discover/Request messages. Multiple vendors may choose to use the
same appliance class identifier for like appliances (an IP phone for
example).

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
