Section 4.4.4 says:

   Any DHCPACK messages that arrive with an 'xid' that does not match the
   When the client receives a DHCPACK from the server, the client
   computes the lease expiration time as the sum of the time at which the
   client sent the DHCPREQUEST message and the duration of the lease in
   the DHCPACK message.

   client sent the DHCPREQUEST message and the duration of the lease in
   the DHCPACK message.
