RE: [dhcwg] dhcp6 verndor class option

This is completely up to the server. See DHCP Relay Agent Information Option
(RFC 3046) for more details as to how this is may be used in DHCPv4. This
really is no different for DHCPv6, just that the way the information is
carried is different and is vendor-specific -- though likely there will be
standardized relay agent options to carry information in the future.
