+The DOCSIS-device-class suboption is intended to convey information about
+the host endpoint, hardware, and software, that either the host operating
+system or the DHCP server may not otherwise be aware of (but the relay is
+able to distinguish). This is implemented as a 32-bit field (4 octets),
+each bit representing a flag describing the host in one of these ways.
+So far, only bit zero (being the least significant bit) is defined in
+RFC3256. If this bit is set to one, the host is considered a CPE
+Controlled Cable Modem (CCCM). All other bits are reserved.
