Scott - even knowing "which interface which DHCP information came from" may not be enough for a device with multiple interfaces. Can policies for merging information be written just based on the characteristics of the interface - say, 3GPP versus 802.11, or IP address of the interface - or

Hi, Scott, Based on the current MIF charter proposal, it consider only host. http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/mif/current/msg00367.html I am wondering whether RG is a kind of host? Anyhow, this discussion benefit MIF for the future consideration how to identify the source. Many thanks -Hui

Hi, Ralph, I agree what you said here, Scott raised the possible issue how to differentiate the source. One instant thinking about the two different 802.11 interface is that the principal source policy selection will not be able to tell the diffference, we could allow high level policy to recomme

Hi Ralph - Yup.. we've been at this way too long. On the matter at hand: Both of these documents allow a bit of twiddling with what gets sent to the ultimate end client. The DHCP relay agent does this indirectly by signally which branch of the network tree it exist in so the upstream DHCP ser

How realistic is it anyway that an RG would get different *relevant* options on its different interfaces? This would seem to me to be an administrative error. Of course the broadcast address and subnet mask options might be different, but it doesn't make sense to send the RG, e.g., diff
