/*
 * the protocol used here is a simple request/reply scheme: a client
 * sends a dhcp_ipc_request_t message to the agent, and the agent
 * sends a dhcp_ipc_reply_t back to the client.  since the requests
 * and replies can be variable-length, they are prefixed on "the wire"
 * by a 32-bit number that tells the other end how many bytes to
 * expect.
 *
 * the format of a request consists of a single dhcp_ipc_request_t;
 * note that the length of this dhcp_ipc_request_t is variable (using
 * the standard c array-of-size-1 trick).  the type of the payload is
 * given by `data_type', which is guaranteed to be `data_length' bytes
 * long starting at `buffer'.  note that `buffer' is guaranteed to be
 * 32-bit aligned but it is poor taste to rely on this.
 *
 * the format of a reply is much the same: a single dhcp_ipc_reply_t;
 * note again that the length of the dhcp_ipc_reply_t is variable.
 * the type of the payload is given by `data_type', which is
 * guaranteed to be `data_length' bytes long starting at `buffer'.
 * once again, note that `buffer' is guaranteed to be 32-bit aligned
 * but it is poor taste to rely on this.
 *
 * requests and replies can be paired up by comparing `ipc_id' fields.
