+   installed on this hook point can modify the incoming buffer. The

+
+ - <b>Skip flag action</b>: If any callout sets the skip flag, the server will
+   skip the buffer parsing. In such case there is an expectation that
+   the callout will parse the buffer and create option objects (see
+   isc::dhcp::Pkt4::addOption()). Otherwise the server will find out
+   that some mandatory options are missing (e.g. DHCP Message Type) and
+   will drop the packet. If you want to have the capability to drop
+   a message, it is better to use skip flag in pkt4_receive callout.
