<div>Hi David,</div>
<div> </div>
<div> Thanks for your reply.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I guess you are mentioning the field seconds elapsed in DISCOVER message ?,</div>
<div>I have pasted the capture below and it is 18 for some clients and 0 for some clients DISCOVER.</div>
<div><br>Bootstrap Protocol</div>
<div>Message type: Boot Request (1)</div>
<div>Hardware type: Ethernet</div>
<div>Hardware address length: 6</div>
<div>Hops: 1</div>
<div>Transaction ID: 0x41573e21</div>
<div><strong>Seconds elapsed: 18</strong></div>

<div>Hops: 1</div>
<div>Transaction ID: 0x9364cf6c</div>
<div><strong>Seconds elapsed: 0</strong></div>
<div> </div></div>
<div>some othe clients have nonzero value like 2, 4 etc...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My load-balance-max-secs is 3 and the SPLIT is 128 from dhcpd.conf file, can you tell me what happens for the client with seconds elapsed is 18 and for the client with field same field set as 0.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>what does this Sec field mention, is it configurable from client or server side to go through hashing always?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regards</div>
<div>Pat</div>
