In RFC 2131, the giaddr specifies an IP address which determines both
a subnet and thereby a link on which a DHCP client resides as well as
an IP address which can be used to communicate with the relay agent.
The subnet-selection option [RFC 3011] allows these functions of the
giaddr to be split so that when one entity is performing as a DHCP
proxy, it can specify the subnet/link from which to allocate an IP
address which is different from the IP address with which it desires
to communicate with the DHCP server. Analgous situations exist where
the relay agent needs to specify the subnet/link on which a DHCP
client resides which is different from an IP address which can be
used to communicate with the relay agent. The link-selection sub-
option (specified here) of the relay-agent-information option allows
a relay agent to do this.

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
