This memo defines a new suboption of the Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) relay agent information option that allows the DHCP
relay to specify flags for the forwarded packet.  One flag is defined
to indicate whether the DHCP relay received the packet via a unicast
or broadcast packet.  This information may be used by the DHCP server
to better serve clients based on whether their request was originally
broadcast or unicast.  [STANDARDS TRACK]
