I agree with all that you said except this bit. With the GEA NGA
service from option reache Option 82 is being passed (we're using
it!), they just intercept it an insert the link speed as extra values.
Do you currently have any customers utilising centralised DHCP and relay for
their LAN side, on FTTC?
Yes.
Cheers,

Likewise here. I was once told it wouldn't work but I've never had any
problems with it. Ditto QinQ and other 'business' requirements (though
having handover tags repeat per cable link, per exchange can be a bit of
a pain for re-writing.
Off topic, but never have understood why OR don't stack switches on
their side, instead requiring CPs to purchase £2k cable links to each
FTTC handover switch, of which there can be many per exchange
(especially as after the first link, additional links are just a patch
cable). <conspiracy theory> some suggest that this could be a money
making venture </conspiracy theory> I'm sure there's a sound technical
reason, but again, it disadvantages smaller CPs disproportionately who
may only have a few customers on each switch.
