NAME

Net::DHCP::Packet::OrderOptions - Option ordering quirks for Net::DHCP

VERSION

version 0.9

SYNOPSIS

use Net::DHCP::Packet::OrderOptions qw( reorder_options );

DESCRIPTION

Applies known option-ordering quirks to a list of option codes. DHCP clients can be picky about option order; this module collects those work-arounds in one place.

QUIRK WORK-AROUNDS

Intel PXE

Wants option 60 (Vendor class identifier) before option 43 (Vendor-specific options).

Cablelabs

Wants option 82 (Relay agent information) to always be last.

METHODS

reorder_options( LIST )

Accepts a list of option-code numbers, returns them reordered to satisfy known client quirks. Codes not mentioned in any quirk keep their relative order.
