Barbara - sorry, I wasn't clear. I think we're in agreement. The router at the edge of a subscriber network does not need the relay function. There are other network architectures where the relay function is likely to be needed. It's not clear a single RFC 2119 recommendation is adequate. -

I'm unaware of any member of the mass market community (which accounts for a whole lot of "nodes" and "routers") who are asking for or wanting or expecting DNCP Relay. That's SOHO, Consumer, or the ISPs that serve them. Are there specialized niches inside these communities that might like DHCP Rela
