The correct deployment of DHCP servers prevents BOOTP relay agents from generating duplicate packets, which can cause the DHCP server to receive several copies of the same Discover or Request message. For example, Figures 4 and 5 show two BOOTP relay designs that have the same number of networks, servers, and routers. The Figure 4 design causes eight packets to reach the DHCP servers for every DHCP message sent by a client. The network design in Figure 5 eliminates duplicate packets while providing enough fault-tolerant redundancy such that any single part of the network can fail, but clients continue to received leases.
