Hi Josh, What leads you to believe renewing a DHCP lease will drop your call?
Think about this: have you ever had an HTTP download break because your computer needed to renew it's DHCP lease? I've never experienced such a thing. I'm not an expert by any means with DHCP, but if your computer sends a renew, why would the DHCP server drop or change that computers IP address? If you want expert advice with DHCP, I'd think you'd be better off asking this in another mailing list. My best answer for you would be: DHCP would have been replaced by now if renewing a leased address caused the behavior you're describing. Now if there is an IP conflict on the network (some other computer has the leased IP statically assigned), then yes you most defiantly would have issues. I hope I was able to help, Brandon On 03/31/2011 05:42 PM, Josh Roberts wrote: > Mayank and friends, > > I'm trying to authenticate a statement by a voip/sip system integrator that > dhcp has stability and reliability issues because when the phone rings > (every time, according to this company) it has to check its lease for > renewal and potentially renew the lease before the call can connect. > > Thanks for your time, > Josh > > On Thu, Mar 31, 2011 at 09:30, Mayank Jain<[email protected]> wrote: > > >> >> On 3/31/2011 9:04 AM, Josh Roberts wrote: >> >> >>> Resending, and hoping for a response.
