Github user ctramnitz commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/531 dhcp also carries a client-id that is often (but not always and not reliably) the hostname. While not reliable, this is intersting information, especially since you don't have to perform (expensive) DNS lookups, but can consume whats on the wire or a dhcp server reports.
