Abstract:
   The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is initiated by a DHCP
   client.  A DHCP server can force DHCP client to send DHCPRENEW by
   sending a DHCPFORCERENEW message.  There may be multiple DHCP network
   devices connected in between a DHCP client and a server, each one
   reserving resources for the DHCP client.  There are no DHCP messages
   that a relay can initiate in order to control the client binding.

   A DHCP client may not always send a DHCPRELEASE message when it no
   longer needs the IP address and network resources for the associated
   services it is using.  This document specifies a way to request
   release message to be initiated by an intermediate DHCP network
   device, e.g.  DHCP relay, on behalf of DHCP client.  This helps to
   relinquish network resources sooner than the lease expiration time.
