Let's start this new year with fixing this old errata... I would appreciate the wisdom of the DHC WG on this one Regards -éric On 03/08/2023, 13:14, "Eric Vyncke (evyncke)" <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: While processing this old (2017) errata, I would like a confirmation by the DHC WG that the corrected text should rather be: " Normally, DHCP servers and BOOTP relay agents attempt to deliver DHCPOFFER, DHCPACK and DHCPNAK messages directly to the client using unicast delivery except when noted in section 4.1 when 'giaddr' is zero." Thank you Fan for the errata and thank you all in advance for the confirmation, Regards -éric On 29/08/2017, 04:57, "RFC Errata System" <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: -------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5100 <http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5100> -------------------------------------- Type: Technical Reported by: Fan Wei <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> Section: 4.1 Original Text ------------- Normally, DHCP servers and BOOTP relay agents attempt to deliver DHCPOFFER, DHCPACK and DHCPNAK messages directly to the client using uicast delivery.

Notes ----- According to prior part description in section 4.1: "In all cases, when ’giaddr’ is zero, the server broadcasts any DHCPNAK messages to 0xffffffff.", the DHCP server should not send DHCPNAK in unicast to client unless 'giaddr' is not zero.
