I like clean logs, I dont like wasted traffic, even if it is small.

We consistently see Cisco/Linksys routers requesting their DHCP IP over and
over and over

The customers have service, but its just constantly requesting

So I threw a sniffer on todat and see this in the packet:

Parameter Request List Item: (1) Subnet Mask
Parameter Request List Item: (3) Router
Parameter Request List Item: (15) Domain Name
Parameter Request List Item: (6) Domain Name Server
Parameter Request List Item: (212) 6RD

Option 212 we dont respond with. So if a DHCP client requests a set of
options, and one is not delivered, will it just keep asking, as is what we
see?

Without telling a customer to turn off IP6 or moving to IP6 on our network,
is there any way to clean up these logs?

Or is that even the root cause of this issue?
