/// consists of the single client message, server response to this message
/// and the mechanisms to generate the server's response. The server creates
/// the instance of the @c Dhcpv4Exchange for each inbound message that it
/// accepts for processing.
///
/// The use of the @c Dhcpv4Exchange object as a central repository of
/// information about the message exchange simplifies the API of the

///
/// Another benefit of using this class is that different methods of the
/// @c Dhcpv4Srv may share information. For example, the constructor of this
/// class selects the subnet and multiple methods of @c Dhcpv4Srv use this
/// subnet, without the need to select it again.
