-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 During v4.robustness test creation (Trac# 2600) disparities between how
 ISC_DHCP and b10-dhcp4 respond to certain packet content came to light.
 For example:

 1. In response to a DHCPREQUEST, sent to a server at 172.16.1.1, with
 giaddr=172.16.1.4, no ciaddr, and request address of 186.16.1.18  ISC_DHCP
 sends a NAK, while b10-dhcp4 sends an OFFER.

 2. In response to a DHCPDISCOVER with relay agent option set o "blah blah
 blah", ISC_DHCP detects invalid packet via parsing error, while b10-dhcp4
 extends an offer.

 Trac# 2889 was created to codify requirements for RFC2131, Section 4.3.
 In conjunction with that effort identification reconciliation of differing
 behavior between of ISC_DHCP and b10-dhcp4 to various packet content
 should be conducted.

 This should include codification of what is and is not a valid inbound
 packet.
