RFC 3925: Vendor-Identifying Vendor Options for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version 4 (DHCPv4)

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) options for Vendor Class and Vendor-Specific Information can be limiting or ambiguous when a DHCP client represents multiple vendors. This document defines two new options, modeled on the IPv6 options for vendor class and vendor-specific information, that contain Enterprise Numbers to remove ambiguity. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
