      option-code   OPTION_ELAPSED_TIME (8). 

      option-len    2. 

      elapsed-time  The amount of time since the client began its
                    current DHCP transaction.  This time is expressed in
                    hundredths of a second (10^-2 seconds). 

   A client MUST include an Elapsed Time option in messages to indicate
   how long the client has been trying to complete a DHCP message
   exchange.


                                  The elapsed time value is an
   unsigned, 16 bit integer.  The client uses the value 0xffff to
   represent any elapsed time values greater than the largest time value
   that can be represented in the Elapsed Time option.
