Subject: [dhcwg] Elapsed Time Option in RFC 3315

Hello All,

Could someone kindly clarify the requirement of the Elapsed Time option for me.  Is it required in all packets sent by the client, or is it just required IF the client wants to indicate how long it has been trying to complete a DHCP message exchange?

   A client MUST include an Elapsed Time option in messages to indicate
   how long the client has been trying to complete a DHCP message
   exchange.

This statement in the RFC seems ambiguous to me, and any clarification you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,
Tammy Leino
