•
The number 80 is the value of the sub-option type.
•
The number 0B is the value of the sub-option length.
•
The numbers 00 00 are the value of the PXE server type.
•
The number 02 indicates the number of servers.
•
The numbers 01 02 03 04 02 02 02 02 indicate that the PXE server addresses are 1.2.3.4 and
