Apologies for not getting these out sooner, I've just gotten around to implementing this option. draft-ietf-dhc-packetcable-04.txt In this document, two things seem to veer slightly from the existing DHCP protocol. First, it seems that suboptions 1 and 2 could be consolidated into one suboption only. Regular DHCP options carry multiple values in preferential order, so I don't see why this suboption couldn't do the same. Second, I'd rather see suboption 3 broken out into two different suboptions denoting the different data types. I'm not aware of any other DHCP option that has a type field.
