Hi Ted, Bud,
Thank you for the answers.

Regarding my query :
(2) If the DHCP Client receives DHCP OFFER with lease timer of 2 seconds the
T1(Rebind Timer) and T2 (Renew Timer) timer value will be round of to 1
second.

T1 = (lease time * 0.5) = 2*0.5 = 1

T2 = (lease time * 0.875) = 2 * 0.875 = 1.75 (round of to 1)
What should be expected behavior if the T1 and T2 timer value are same?

Can some one please clarify.

Thank you in advance.
