[lwip-devel] [bug #27049] DHCP IP address assignment with multiple lwIP devices fails

[Simon Goldschmidt]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #27049 (project lwip):

Unfortunately, I don't know the DHCP RFC very well, but it seems like our
timeouts are at least not taken from there.

Accepting responses to earlier packets would do the trick as well, but we
would also need to ignore responses for later packets (which will come, or
won't they?) when a response for an earlier packet has been received. And we
would need a list of IDs used for requests to compare to (or a range).

Since that would lead us away from being lightweight a bit, I'd favor
adjusting the timeouts. After all, in a normal situation, these timeouts don't
occur (or only when using fallback to AutoIP).
