[dhcwg] [DHCPv6]Petty question regarding MRC in RFC3315

[<Hideshi.Enokihara at jp.yokogawa.com>]

Hi all,

I'd like to know your thought regarding MRC meaning.

RFC3315 section 14 says,
-----------
(snip)
      MRC    Maximum retransmission count  
(snip)
   MRC specifies an upper bound on the number of times a client may
   retransmit a message.  Unless MRC is zero, the message exchange fails
   once the client has transmitted the message MRC times.
---------

Does this mean that MRC is the number of retransmitted messages?
For example, in the case of MRC  is 3 and message type is Solicit,
which behavior is correct?
[Case 1]
Client
	transmit 		1st Solicit 	---->
	retransmit(MRC=1)	2nd Solicit 	---->
	retransmit(MRC=2)	3rd Solict	---->
	retransmit(MRC=3)	4th Solicit	---->
	no more transmit of Solicit

or

[Case 2]
Client
	transmit (MRC=1)	1st Solicit 	---->
	retransmit(MRC=2)	2nd Solicit 	---->
	retransmit(MRC=3)	3rd Solict	---->
	no more transmit of Solicit

Could you let me know which behavior is correct, please?

Best regards,
....Hideshi
