| /** |
| * This option is used by clients and servers to exchange vendor- |
| * specific information. The information is an opaque object of n |
| * octets, presumably interpreted by vendor-specific code on the clients |
| * and servers. The definition of this information is vendor specific. |
| * The vendor is indicated in the vendor class identifier option. |
| * Servers not equipped to interpret the vendor-specific information |
| * sent by a client MUST ignore it (although it may be reported). |
| * Clients which do not receive desired vendor-specific information |
| * SHOULD make an attempt to operate without it, although they may do so |
| * (and announce they are doing so) in a degraded mode. |
| * |
| * If a vendor potentially encodes more than one item of information in |
| * this option, then the vendor SHOULD encode the option using |
| * "Encapsulated vendor-specific options" as described below: |
| * The Encapsulated vendor-specific options field SHOULD be encoded as a |
| * sequence of code/length/value fields of identical syntax to the DHCP |
| * options field with the following exceptions: |
| * |
| * 1) There SHOULD NOT be a "magic cookie" field in the encapsulated |
| * vendor-specific extensions field. |
| * |
| * 2) Codes other than 0 or 255 MAY be redefined by the vendor within |
| * the encapsulated vendor-specific extensions field, but SHOULD |
| * conform to the tag-length-value syntax defined in section 2. |
| * |
| * 3) Code 255 (END), if present, signifies the end of the |
| * encapsulated vendor extensions, not the end of the vendor |
| * extensions field. If no code 255 is present, then the end of |
| * the enclosing vendor-specific information field is taken as the |
| * end of the encapsulated vendor-specific extensions field. |
| * |
| * The code for this option is 43 and its minimum length is 1. |
