Is this causing trouble somewhere? Sure, this is old code and might be
wrong, but I thought that DHCP was a superset of BOOTP, so encoding the
DHCP response in a bootp-response property does not sound that bad to me.
Also, is the "dhcp-response" property defined somewhere? I can see
"bootp-response" in the OF TFTP spec, but where does "dhcp-response"
comes from?
