dhcpcd is a small DHCP client, supporting most, if not all, features of
dhclient. It is much smaller (1/6 of the size on amd64), but still
supports many of the more advanced modern RFCs like IPv4LL (RFC 3927),
Classless Static Routes (RFC 3442) and Node-specific Client Identifiers
(RFC 4361). It was written by Roy Marpled, partly in reply to the
discussion of the DHCP client Sommer of Code project.
