public final class DhcpPlugin
extends AbstractPlugin

This class is designed to be used by the capabilities daemon to test if a remote interface is running a functional DHCP server as defined by RFC 2131. This class relies on the DHCP API provided by JDHCP v1.1.1. (please refer to http://www.dhcp.org/javadhcp). The class implements the Plugin interface that allows it to be used along with other plugins by the daemon.
