The first of these packets is from your computer to the DHCP server telling it to release the lease on your IP address. The next 4 packets renew that lease. Note that the source address on the “DHCP Discover” and “DHCP Request” packets is 0.0.0.0. This indicates that your computer does not actually use its new IP address until the interchange has completed. Also note that the destination address in each of the 4 packets is a broadcast address[1]. It should be obvious to you why the first two packets are broadcasted, but what about the last two? Can you explain this? Answer the questions in your Word document right after you post a snapshot of the DHCP packet screen. (#4)
