[Kea-users] Use perfdhcp to test IoT DHCP server?

The DHCPv4 protocol requires that the server sends packets to the
directly connected clients which don't have an address yet and the
clients without an address should be able to receive the DHCPACK. In
order to simulate directly connected clients, perfdhcp would need to
include extra complexity which doesn't seem to be worth the effort.
In order to overcome this problem, we implemented perfdhcp in such a way
that it simulates relayed traffic (sets giaddr to the IP address of the
local interface via which perfdhcp sends traffic). In relayed
configurations, the traffic is typically unicast to the server.
The perfdhcp tool accepts optional 'server' argument which can be
appended at the end of the command line which defaults to
255.255.255.255. I suggest that you try specifying a unicast address
where the DHCP server can be contacted instead of using the default
broadcast address. If you use the default, perfdhcp may not handle it
very well (depending on what the server sets as the source and
destination IP address in the DHCPACK).
