So a “special tunnelling mechanism” is NOT tunnelling? Keep on tying
yourself in knots ...
Nothing that we are discussing in this thread is tunneling. DHCP needs
something that vaguely resembles an applicaiton level gateway in the
client's broadcast domain to forward the broadcast part of DHCP to the
server; the rest of the exchange is routed IP unicast.
I understand that it might be hard to comprehend that a protocol might
change its transport method in mid-exchange, but DHCP does that.
It took me a while to understand how a certain software distribution
software can work without interacting with the DHCP server, so I have
gone through the learning curve to grok DHCP myself, but it is time
that people educate themselves before this discussion can become
fruitful.
