Not trying to nit pick but the response packet ( the fourth packet in a new
DHCP lease negotiation) is an SMB response packet type of "ACK" (DHCP can
only respond with an ACK or a NACK) thus it most definitely uses "ACKS and
all that"

3.  DHCP is carried by UDP protocol, so it does not use "ACKs and all that
jazz".  The client issues a broadcast message and receives the reply packet
from the DHCP server containing IP address, default gateway address, DNS
server address(es) from the DHCP server.
