DHCPv6 client protocol sends the DHCP Unique Identifier and the interface Identity Association Identifier (IAID) to a DHCP server when acquiring a dynamic IPv6 address. DHCPv4 client protocol sends IAID and DUID to the DHCP server when acquiring a dynamic IPv4 address if <option>ClientIdentifier=duid</option>. IAID and DUID allows a DHCP server to uniquely identify the machine and the interface requesting a DHCP IP.
