draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-28.txt refers to a terminology "relay agent
options" several times.  For example, Section 18.1 contains the
following sentence:

      Requiring the client to relay all DHCP
      messages through a relay agent enables the inclusion of
      relay agent options in all messages sent by the client.

But, what are really they?  I cannot find a clear definition of "relay
agent options" from the draft.

Could anyone clarify this?  Thanks,
