Abstract
The DHCP [1] mechanism for identifying the client as a unique entity is the DHCP client-identifier option (code 61) [2]. This draft defines for Option 61 a specific type and type number of a client-identifier based on generated UUIDs [3]. These identifiers are guaranteed to be, or are very, very likely to be unique across time and all clients.
