This document defines an extension to the DHCP protocols that allows
a relay agent to use any available source port for upstream
communications. The extension also allows inclusion of a DHCP option
that can be used to statelessly route responses back to the
appropriate source port on downstream communications.


This document is a product of the Dynamic Host Configuration Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.
