Hello,
I was wonder if dhclient uses a raw socket. We found this to be the
case for udhcpc, which causes problems in our environment. We have a
high volume UDP broadcast network. When the raw socket is opened and a
port is not specified, the amount of UDP traffic on our network over
whelms udhcpc and it can not get its lease. I wanted to move to
dhclient but this will require a lot of work to configure and I wanted
to know up front if we would run in to the same problem. Does anyone
know?
Thanks,
Jolynn
