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

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.


Corrected Text
--------------
Normally, DHCP servers and BOOTP relay agents attempt to deliver
DHCPOFFER, DHCPACK 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.
