Maybe, maybe not. A brief reference could maybe be added just to make the folks realize that there is a implementable and "blessed" subset of DHCP.. but the main point is clarity in the body of the description. > At 01:25 PM 12/4/2003 +0200, Pekka Savola wrote: > >[...] > >Also, there are basically two versions of "DHCP": the one specified in > >RFC3315, and the "stateless DHCP", in IESG review at the moment.
