Thanks Olaf!
Just a side note:
While it is possble to checksum the packet while sending e.g. DISCOVER
or REQUEST via broadcast directly in the dhcp client, unicasts (RENEW
request) sent via sendto are just partially checksumed by the kernel
and gets discarded on the another side because of the bogus checksum.
Some clients tend to send the RENEW REQUEST as broadcast (MAC ff:ff..)
as well event this is a bug and not rfc conform - these packets gets
discarded on [e.g. cisco] routers (relay is not involved in RENEW).
