The client follows Java's DHCPClient instead of Swift: one DISCOVER or
REQUEST per attempt, an answer that does not fit is read and dropped, the
ARP check waits a round trip (an answer for the address ends it at once,
then DECLINE), a timeout repeats the state's message, and the fifth turns
to a link-local address 169.254.1.x/16 (ARP probe, ARP reply to all); no
old address is given back. DHCP round trip times follow the speed as in
Java (50 cables, 2750 ms at 90 %; Swift: fixed 2500 ms).
Not taken from Java: the client gives up after five occupied link-local
addresses (Java searches on without end), and an ARP packet for another
address does not end the check.
dhcpJava.test.ts compares the four DHCP scenarios with DhcpRun's Java
runs; the Swift comparison only checks that they differ.
