028     * This option is used by DHCP clients to optionally identify the vendor
029     * type and configuration of a DHCP client.  The information is a string
030     * of n octets, interpreted by servers.  Vendors may choose to define
031     * specific vendor class identifiers to convey particular configuration
032     * or other identification information about a client.  For example, the
033     * identifier may encode the client's hardware configuration.  Servers
034     * not equipped to interpret the class-specific information sent by a
035     * client MUST ignore it (although it may be reported). Servers that
036     * 
037     * respond SHOULD only use option 43 to return the vendor-specific
038     * information to the client.
039     * 
040     * The code for this option is 60, and its minimum length is 1.
