DHCP discover

[Arut Selvan]

Hi Folks, I would like to know how a DHCP client could bind to a socket
without having an IP address. We can't use the IP stack without a
valid IP address, so is the socket layer bypassed until a valid IP
address is received ?Does the DHCP client build a DHCP message and
directly pass it layer 2 or something. Please explain. Thanks.
