Hi,
 
After presenting the 'Leasequery extension to L2 networks' and 'unicast-address sub-option' in the WG meeting held in San Diego and subsequent discussions offline, we decided to combine the two drafts and also define the functionality of Layer 2 Relay Agent in one draft. We have created one new draft which talks about Layer 2 Access networks and the role of Layer 2 Relay Agents in those networks. In the same draft we have covered things like extension of  leasequery and avoiding flooding in L2 networks. 
 
Also, during discussion with Woj we realised that cases where Layer 3 Relay Agents using unnumbered interfaces cannot be handled properly with the existing mechanism of L2RA-L3RA combination. Woj suggested the usage of relay chaining mechanism in DHCP v4. So, we have created a new draft which introduces relay chaining mechanism in DHCP v4.

Please review these two drafts and provide your suggestions

Thanks,
Pavan
