Sure, it be nice if there were zero messages, but we're basically down
to as few as possible and most of these messages are tiny (especially
compared to the 300+ bytes that is the minimal size of DHCPv4
messages).
It adds up if you have a large number of hosts on a subnet.
Which got me thinking: wouldn't it be great if a single message from
a host could serve as both a router solicitation and a DHCP solicit
message?
