+ * \brief UDP header and IP header decoded together for convenience.
+ *
+ * Attempt to decode the UDP and IP headers and, if necessary, checksum
+ * the packet.
+ *
+ * \param inteface - the interface on which the packet was recevied
+ * \param buf - a pointer to the buffer for the received packet
+ * \param bufix - where to start processing the buffer, previous
+ *                routines may have processed parts of the buffer already
+ * \param from - space to return the address of the packet sender
+ * \param buflen - remaining length of the buffer, this will have been
+ *                 decremented by bufix by the caller
+ * \param rbuflen - space to return the length of the payload from the udp
+ *                  header
+ * \param csum_ready - indication if the checksum is valid for use
+ *                     non-zero indicates the checksum should be validated
+ *
+ * \return - the index to the first byte of the udp payload (that is the
+ *           start of the DHCP packet
