RE: [dhcwg] dhcp6 verndor class option

Well, as we have no DHCPv6 option to carry a subscriber ID, perhaps the
relay wants to communicate that to the server? So, it could send this in the
vendor-specific option.

Or, if the relay is on a switch, it could include the port on which the
client is located.

There's all sorts of possibilities.
