[dhcwg] RFC 3315 clarification

[ravi kumar <ravikumar.lrk at gmail.com>]

 I need clarification regarding section 18.1.8 of RFC- 3315 :

 

<Copy-paste from RFC>

When the client receives a Reply message in response to a Renew or
   Rebind message, the client examines each IA independently.  For each
   IA in the original Renew or Rebind message, the client:

   -  sends a Request message if the IA contained a Status Code option
      with the NoBinding status (and does not send any additional
      Renew/Rebind messages)

   -  sends a Renew/Rebind if the IA is not in the Reply message

   -  otherwise accepts the information in the IA

What is the intent of client for sending Request, in response to Sever's reply with NOBINDING status code. What addresses do Request message contain ?

Incase of Client's message containing only one IA, Is it not enough that Client starts with Solicit, instead o Request message.

Because, incase Client sends Request, then Server would either respond with a Reply containing different Address (than requested) / ignores Client's message, since address is not available with Server. In that case, client finally falls back to Solicit to acquire address.

Instead if Client sends Solicit in response to Server's reply would quicken address acquisition.

Please clarify me in this regard
