/* RFC 2131
* 4.4.4 Use of broadcast and unicast
*
* The DHCP client broadcasts DHCPDISCOVER, DHCPREQUEST and DHCPINFORM
* messages, unless the client knows the address of a DHCP server.
* The client unicasts DHCPRELEASE messages to the server. Because
* the client is declining the use of the IP address supplied by the server,
* the client broadcasts DHCPDECLINE messages.
*
* When the DHCP client knows the address of a DHCP server, in either
* INIT or REBOOTING state, the client may use that address
* in the DHCPDISCOVER or DHCPREQUEST rather than the IP broadcast address.
* The client may also use unicast to send DHCPINFORM messages
* to a known DHCP server. If the client receives no response to DHCP
* messages sent to the IP address of a known DHCP server, the DHCP
* client reverts to using the IP broadcast address.
