Re: [Etherboot-developers] Surprising 57, Maximum DHCP Message Size

[Ken Y. <ke...@nl...>]

|Etherboot version 4.7.21 surprisingly offers a

It will be limited by the MTU of the transmitting interface anyway.  No
DHCP server should send out a packet that large. But probably
MAX_BOOTP_EXTLEN should be defined as
ETH_FRAME_LEN-ETH_HLEN-sizeof(struct iphdr)-sizeof(struct
udphdr)-sizeof(struct bootp_t)

I'll change it to that in .22. Thanks.
