[Dnsmasq-discuss] Too many DISCOVER packets than actual clients

Hi,

I have IXIA port connected to an interface on which dnsmasq is running. I'm simulating 8k DHCP clients from IXIA and see that there are more than 12k DISCOVER packets sent from IXIA, but the ones logged in dnsmasq log is exactly 8k. Why is this difference and what dnsmasq is doing with remaining packets.

There are more than 2 DISCOVER packets for most of the clients. When this happens? Both DISCOVER packets are reaching an interface on which dnsmasq is running.

Could anyone please explain how this works and who is the culprit here.

Regards,
Sree
