Re: [dhcwg] FW: I-D Action: draft-ietf-dhc-relay-id-suboption-08.txt

Bharat,

Draft looks good. Just one minor editorial comment and one clarification
needed below.

> "DHCP typically identifies clients based on information in their
DHCP messages"

You might want to replace the first "DHCP" with DHCP server. If you do not
want to restrict to server here you may say network entity

I assume the inclusion of "type" field now is for any future consideration
of including other types like DUID? Else it seems redundant, now that we
have only 1 type in the sub-option.

Thanks,
Pavan
