[Kea-users] KEA handling malformed packets

Something which perhaps works: load the other standard hook which unpacks/
parses incoming packets and handles lenient pasrsing: the bootp hook.
It will throw on malformed packets: not a very good thing as hooks are not
supposed to throw but the exception is caught and processing continues with
the partially parsed packet. BTW I am interested by this experiment so
if it works or not can you answer to this message?

Thanks

PS: the bootp hook must be loaded before the lease query hook: they are called
in the order they are configured / loaded.
