G'day,

While providing "Internet Access" services to
end-users, my customers have a need to restrict
such users to selected incoming ports/interfaces.
I realize that DHCP authentication might be used,
but I don't believe it would allow such a provider
to control the spatial scope of clients.

On that premise, I have just started writing up an
ID for a LineId option in DHCP options. To which
end, a DHCP relay would use this option to specify
the inbound port or interface, and a consenting
server would use it appropriately.

I have looked at the base documents and before I get
too far, I'd like to confirm that there is no other
way to achieve this today.

Comments?
