id is assigned and the mechanisms used to configure it are outside
the scope of this memo.
4. DHCPv6 Server Behavior
This option provides additional information to the DHCPv6 server.
The DHCPv6 server may use this information, if available, in
addition
to other relay agent option data, other options included in the
DHCPv6 client messages, and physical network topology information
in
order to assign IP addresses, delegate prefixes, and/or other
configuration parameters to the client. There is no special
additional processing for this option.
There is no requirement that a server return this option and its
data
in a RELAY-REPLY message.

5. Security Considerations
As the subscriber-id option is only exchanged between relay agents
and DHCPv6 servers, [1], Section 21.1, provides details on
securing
DHCPv6 messages sent between servers and relay agents. [1],
Section
23, provides general DHCPv6 security considerations.
6. IANA Considerations
IANA has assigned a DHCPv6 option code (38) for the Relay Agent
Subscriber-ID Option.
