This counter tallies DHCPREQUEST packets received by the server -- the message a client sends to accept an offered lease or renew an existing one -- starting from zero. Comparing this count against cigDhcpServersDhcpOffers and cigDhcpServersDhcpAcks helps an admin gauge whether offered leases are actually being accepted or whether requests are failing to result in acknowledgments. A Requests count that closely tracks the Acks count suggests the lease process is completing cleanly, while a growing gap between them would point to clients being NAK'd or timing out.
