It seemed like a bad idea to respond > to a > fixed port if no communication had been initiated from that port. The RFC is explicit about the port numbers to use when sending messages. If you send to or from other ports, you are not doing DHCP. Which is not to say that what you are doing is wrong for the particular case you're working on, but it isn't what's stated in the protocol specification. You can't count on being able to interoperate successfully with conforming devices if you don't use the port numbers that the standard requires. _______________________________________________ dhcwg mailing list dhcwg@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dhcwg
