Abstract
A method for suppressing broadcast messages includes intercepting a packet from a client device. If the packet is a bootstrap protocol (BOOTP) request, the method stores the packet in a BOOTP queue and sets a timer for the packet. If the packet is a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) request, the method stores the packet in a DHCP queue and sets a timer for the packet. The method then processes the packets stored in the BOOTP queue and the DHCP queue, where each BOOTP packet in the BOOTP queue is processed before any DHCP packet in the DHCP queue is processed.
