Does IB need this?
I don't see any ON references to this outside of the ip module in cscope. The PSARC materials for 2001/289 don't contain any references to it; only some speculative remark in the one-pager about how DHCP client IDs could be derived. I don't believe that it is used for any such purpose, especially since the DHCP client doesn't use DLPI any more (and you'd see the references to it in cscope...). -Seb _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
