dhcpcd features
dhcpcd is the only open source DHCP client to support:-
- DHCP over FireWire
- User Class
- SIP Servers
- Domain Search
- Classless Static Routes *
- IPv4LL, APIPA or ZeroConf
- Node-specific Client Identifiers
- DHCP over InfiniBand
- Link carrier detection
- Wireless SSID profile support
- ARP ping profile support
- Dynamic route management for systems without metrics (ie, the BSDs)
- Exposes interface events and methods via DBus (using dhcpcd-dbus)
- Small runtime, 60k on i386
If you think the above list is inaccurate, don't hesitate to edit it
Looking forward, I'd like to implement a DHCP IPv6 stack.
Classless Static Routes
It should be noted that FreeBSD and several Linux distributions ship ISC dhclient with patches to enable Classless Static Routes.
