So, I'm not sure there was "3) Normal DHCP traffic." if the switch
could drop DHCP packets in some buggy conditions. Anyway, let's try

When the packets were dropped, there was a different sequence in the log 
- DISCOVER/OFFER repeated. The "normal" is that the sequence appeared 
correct and complete - DISCOVER/OFFER/REQUEST/ACK - or INFORM/ACK (vs. 
INFORM repeatedly sans ACK) as the case may be.
