Are you saying that the router is a DHCP client and gets the server from DHCP? Okay fine, but how does minpoll, maxpoll, I and B get used? I still don't see the point of maxpoll here at all, that is, I don't even get what it means to the client to get this value imposed. See, minpoll says "do not poll more often than this", but maxpoll would mean "do not poll less often than this". This just doesn't make sense to me. > Following that line of thought, I may still see a need for "minpoll, > maxpoll, I and B fields". > Now, I could see the I and B meaning "do not do this" rather than "do this". If I and B are 0, then it means to do whatever you want, but if they are 1, then do not do it. It doesn't make sense to tell a client to use iburst when it wasn't going to anyway. Same with burts, although in a strange set of ceircumstances I could imagine the need for burst being known centrally, so maybe the B flag makes some kind of sense as is. > Considering a central DHCP server, the use of remote-id [RFC4649] or > just link-id may tell the server from where > the request is coming then giving it the knowledge of the delay to > apply. > In the case of a DHCP server hosted by the first hop, the DHCP server is > well positioned to know the delay. > > Oh, agreed, it is possible for the delay to be known. But I just don't think it is likely that it will ever be used correctly in that scenario. All I said is that it should generally be left at 0 unless there is a good reason not to. > Considering the current option format which includes more than IP > addresses, the choice of multiple occurrences of the > same option looks sensible.
