# DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol - RFC 1541

# Pattern attributes: good veryfast fast

# Protocol groups: networking ietf_draft_standard

# Usually runs on ports 67 (server) and 68 (client)

8
# Also matches BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol (RFC 951)) in the case that 
9
# the "vendor specific options" are used (these options were made standard
10
# for DHCP).
11
#
12
# This pattern is lightly tested.

# Let's break that down:
18
#
19
# (\x01|\x02) is for BOOTREQUEST or BOOTREPLY
20
# Is there a demand for doing these seperately?  The Packeteer does.
21
#
22
# [\x01-\x20] is for any of the hardware address types listed at
23
# (http://www.iana.org/assignments/arp-parameters) and hopefully faster 
24
# ethernets too (100, 1000 and 10000mb) as well (do they share the 10mb 
25
# number?).
26
#
27
# \x06 for "hardware address length = 6 bytes".  Does anyone use other lengths
28
# these days?  If so, this pattern won't match it as it stands.
29
#
30
# .* covers the hops, xid, secs, flags, ciaddr, yiaddr, siaddr, giaddr, 
31
# chaddr, sname and file fields.  While this can't really be "any number
32
# of characters" long, it doesn't seem worth it to count.
33
# Can we make this more specific by restricting the number of hops or seconds?

35
# 0x63825363 is the "magic cookie" which begins the DHCP options field.
