not a proxmox issue,just a general dhcp issue.

Running a windows DC with dhcp, experiencing dhcp issues, clients not getting Ips taking long time etc.

ran perfDHCP against the server and this is the result

Bash:
Running: perfdhcp -x i -t 2 -r 10 -R 100 10.a.b.c
Scenario: basic.
Multi-thread mode enabled.

discover offer has almost 50% PL/drops but req ack none. really odd. It aligns well with the dhcp issues we are experiencing too.
Im a little bit at lost here and would have expected loss for both "phases" not just discover offer.

any ideas ?
