Sowmini,
There is no requirement for this feature currently identified for IB.

I believe that this was introduced to support IPv6 over ATM, which is

2006/272.
I noticed the same, but I also saw references to it for IB in
2001/289 (though I couldn't find any supporting code). 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...).
