help
Some buggy DHCP servers will send DHCP offer packets with option
field larger than we expect (which might also be considered a
buffer overflow attempt). These packets are normally discarded.
If circumstances beyond your control force you to support such
servers, this may help. The upper limit (924) makes dhcpc accept
even 1500 byte packets (maximum-sized ethernet packets).
This options does not make dhcp[cd] emit non-standard
sized packets.
Known buggy DHCP servers:
3Com OfficeConnect Remote 812 ADSL Router:
seems to confuse maximum allowed UDP packet size with
maximum size of entire IP packet, and sends packets which are
28 bytes too large.
