I mistakenly took the op field in the DHCP message as the DHCP_OFFER type. Rather than basing the decision to read the VM's IP address on that field, process the appended DHCP options where option 53 indicates the actual type of the packet. I am also reading the broadcast address of the VM, but don't use it so far.
