The client may well not have an address of sufficient scope it can use to communicate with the server. If the server and client are on the same link, then sure the link local address could be used (and in this case the server could send the client the unicast option in the Advertise). However, if the server is off-link, then the client can't communicate with the server directly. Also, if you have multiple relays, won't it be useful to be able to use the one that is up in case one fails? Also, remember that IPv6 uses a lot of multicasting (no broadcasting) and hence only those systems that are playing a DHCP role will receive these packets. So, the cost of multicasting them is not very high. - Bernie Volz -----Original Message----- From: venkat devarajan [mailto:venkat026@hotmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2001 7:54 AM To: dhcwg@ietf.org Subject: [dhcwg] doubt regarding DHCPREQUEST Hi , I am Venkat working in Sun Microsystems. I have a doubt regarding the DHCPREQUEST message broadcast. Doubt: Why is a DHCPREQUEST for Address Reuse or an lease time extension broadcast to all other servers ? could it not be sent to that dhcp server alone that provided the client with the ip adrress ?
