DHCP: Unexplored Capacities

Yannick Cadin

No current SOHO router comes without DHCP. Within a few years, DHCP became one of the most popular network protocols.

An insidious side effect of the sudden widespreading of an embedded version of DHCP is that many administrators never realized that this service offers many resources, most of which remain unused. DHCP is also prone to evolve and be extended.

There would be a lot to say about client-side customization, communication between DHCP servers and dedicated directories like DNS, or even specific uses by some operating systems.
