<simpara>
On Linux and BSD system families the DHCP messages are sent
and received over the raw sockets (using LPF and BPF) and all packet
headers (including data link layer, IP and UDP headers) are created and
parsed by Kea, rather than the system kernel. Currently, Kea only can
only parse the data link layer headers with a format adhering to
IEEE 802.3 standard and assumes this data link layer header format
for all interfaces. Hence, Kea will fail to work on interfaces
which use different data link layer header formats (e.g. Infiniband).
