The server might answer to a DHCPREQUEST with a NAK and currently the client restarts the configuration process immediately. It was observed that this can easily generate loops in which the network is flooded with DISCOVER,OFFER,REQUEST,NAK sequences. RFC 2131 only states that "if the client receives a DHCPNAK message, the client restarts the configuration process" without further details. Add a delay with exponential backoff between retries after NAKs to limit the number of requests and cap the delay to 30 minutes.
