Re: Getting error ioctl SIOCSARP: Network is unreachable

[Tim Peiffer <[e-mail]>]

Without seeing configuration files, etc., my interpretation is that
you are overloading the datagram.  Try not overstuffing the datagram
and use a suitable testing client  to make sure that you are getting
back everything that you want.  While the dhcp datagram is extendable, 
the bootp datagram is limited to 576 bytes.  As a practical matter, 
one can only deliver a fixed number of bootp options.  As an example, 
after we hand out a bare minimum number of fields in the datagram, 
I can only deliver a combined license key (T133) before before the
datagram gets too big.
