A DHCP packet walks into a bar and asks for a beer. Bartender says: “here, but I’ll need that back in an hour!
An ARP request goes to McDonald’s and asks for a Big MAC.
I’m a DHCP server at a local restaurant. This person came up and asked me for my address, and I told her she was out of my scope.
“Hello, here’s a packet : “The problem with low MTU jokes is you can”. Hello, here’s a packet : “wait a long time before reading”. Hello, here’s a packet : “it.”
I had an Ethernet joke, but somebody else told it at the same time. So I exponentially backed off and tried again.
You might not get them but systems love telling each other jokes. It's all about getting to that specific address.
