For outgoing packets, you cannot currently specify source- or destination
port. It sends from port 68 to port 67, like most clients will do. But being
able to change source- and destination UDP ports is a useful feature and
something we will probably add for the next version.

For incoming packets it reads raw ethernet frames from the interface
specified, and will report any packets it sees that contains the DHCP
magic cookie. So the packets don't have to arrive on or from any
particular UDP port.
