From this post, it is unclear whether the DNS given by DHCP should be 8.8.8.8, or the device only needs reachability to 8.8.8.8. I think if the latter is true, it seems acceptable, given the internet can be unpredictable, and Google network reachability would be correlated among services.
- izuchukwu 8y agoI could be misunderstanding, but if subsequent requests are to be made with the DNS provided by DHCP, reachability to 8.8.8.8 would only be helpful to disambgiuate what kind of network error is causing a failure to make network calls regularly. Otherwise, reachability would be best tested with, for example, a Google domain using the provided DNS.
