 * Network layout:
 *
 * R0 is a DHCP server. The DHCP server announced R1 as the default router.
 * Nodes N1 will send UDP Echo packets to node A.

 *
 * Things to notice:
 * 1) The routes in A are manually set to have R1 as the default router,
 *    just because using a dynamic outing in this example is an overkill.
 * 2) R1's address is set statically though the DHCP server helper interface.
 *    This is useful to prevent address conflicts with the dynamic pool.
 *    Not necessary if the DHCP pool is not conflicting with static addresses.
 * 3) N2 has a dynamically-assigned, static address (i.e., a fixed address assigned via DHCP).
