Nope, just IP, UDP, and DHCP need to be considered. It's stated in draft-ietf-dhc-csr-06.txt that the standard maximum size of a DHCP message is 576 bytes. That's 548 for the maximum basic DHCP packet, and 28 for IP and UDP headers. You then use the maximum message size option to negotiate communication at larger sizes, if desired. As Thomas pointed out, that document also mentions that the Max DHCP message size is the DHCP message plus IP and UDP. -Tobin Gopi Krishna wrote: > > Hi, > Does not it include the ethernet header besides IP,UDP and DHCP in finding the Maximum DHCP Packet size? > Thanks in advance. > > -Gopi --- Tobin Coziahr 650-786-7118 (x87118) Solaris Networking tobin.coziahr@sun.com Sun Microsystems _______________________________________________ dhcwg mailing list dhcwg@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dhcwg
