 This task involves the design of the option definition system for IPv4.
 In particular:

 * Where V4 are specified (probably the configuration database, but the
 design should verify that).
 * How the user specifies the V4 options: how the option is specified, how
 data types are specified, how the system handles sub-options.
 * How the information is held in the server and used to parse and write
 options.
 * How "standard" options (i.e. the standard ones specified by RFCs) are
 included in the system. (Should then be in the database, or hard-coded?
 If the latter, how can they be easily extended as new options are
 created.)
