RFC 3993: Subscriber-ID Suboption for the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Relay Agent Option

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

This memo defines a new Subscriber-ID suboption for the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol's (DHCP) relay agent information option. The suboption allows a DHCP relay agent to associate a stable "Subscriber-ID" with DHCP client messages in a way that is independent of the client and of the underlying physical network infrastructure.
