Title : Relay Chaining in DHCPv4

DHCP Relay Agents eliminate the necessity of having a DHCP server on
each physical network. DHCPv4 assumes that there is always only one
Relay Agent between DHCP clients and DHCP server. In certain network
configurations, a DHCP server may be multiple subnets away from the
DHCP client and multiple Relay Agents may be configured to relay DHCP
messages to and from DHCP client. Such configuration can be
supported only when each Relay Agent adds certain Information to DHCP
messages before relaying them. This additional information helps in
relaying the DHCP reply back to the DHCP client through the same
path. This mechanism is often referred as Relay Chaining.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
