DHCP Packet builder

[ImVexed]

Hello! Love the package.

I noticed that DHCP packets were missing builders in nex-packet-builder/ was that intentional?

Also, were there any plans to add the DHCP option flags as constants? As right now it just accepts a byte vec.

Thanks for your interest in the project. and the suggestion!

Yes, DHCP packet builders are currently missing, and that was actually left in an incomplete state. At the time, it was under consideration, but we never got around to implementing.

That said, I'm currently planning a major refactor for the next release of nex, with a focus on improving flexibility, performance, and reducing overhead. This includes significant changes to the existing PacketBuilder system and its related components — the missing DHCP builders are part of that scope.

Additionally, I agree that defining DHCP option flags as constants would make things much more ergonomic, and it's something I'd like to include in the upcoming update as well.

Awesome! Thanks so much for making such a comprehensive package. It's been great to work with compared to others. So many don't support mutating a packet.
