<abstract>
<t>The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a framework for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network. DHCP is based on the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP), adding the capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and additional configuration options.  DHCP captures the behavior of BOOTP relay agents, [23] and DHCP participants can interoperate with BOOTP participants.</t></abstract></front>
