[Kea-users] What is "chaddr"? I'm probably missing something basic/simple

[John Lind]

Oops - I meant to provide some context - here's one reference from the
manual:

DHCPv4 uses two distinct identifiers which are placed by the client in the
queries sent to the server and copied by the server to its responses to the
client: chaddr and client-identifier. The former was introduced as a part
of the BOOTP specification and it is also used by DHCP to carry the
hardware address of the interface used to send the query to the server (MAC
address for the Ethernet). The latter is carried in the client-identifier
option, introduced in RFC 2132 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2132>.
