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

[Geoff Sweet]

Yeah the ISC documentation is annoying in referencing things and then never
actually explaining what any of it means. chaddr is "client hardware
address". If you read rfc2132 and give it a quick search for the term you
will see it harkens all the way back to the BOOTP protocol original rfc.
Anyway anymore I think it's basically just the mac address of the client.
The rfc says it should be a unique identifier. Thats pretty much the mac
address.
