// When specifying options, you typically need to specify

// covers name, code, space, csv-format and data.
// space defaults to "dhcp4" which is usually correct, unless you
// use encapsulate options. csv-format defaults to "true", so
// this is also correct, unless you want to specify the whole
// option value as long hex string. For example, to specify
// domain-name-servers you could do this:
// {
// "name": "domain-name-servers",
// "code": 6,
// "csv-format": true,
// "space": "dhcp4",
// "data": "192.0.2.1, 192.0.2.2"

// - IP address lease time (option 51) is governed by
// valid-lifetime parameter, so you don't need to specify
// it as option.
// - Subnet mask (option 1) is calculated automatically from the
// subnet parameter specified for each "subnet4" entry.
// - renewal-timer (option 58) is calculated from renew-timer
// parameter
// - rebind timer (option 59) is calculated from rebind-timer

// one router.

// slightly uncommon double backslashes notation is needed.
// Legal JSON escapes are \ followed by "\/bfnrt character
// or \u followed by 4 hexa-decimal numbers (currently Kea
// supports only \u0000 to \u00ff code points).
// CSV processing translates '\\' into '\' and '\,' into ','
// only so for instance '\x' is translated into '\x'. But
// as it works on a JSON string value each of these '\'
// characters must be doubled on JSON input.
