what it's used for, and why it came into being. DHCP is a functional extension 
of BOOTP so a brief discussion of BOOTP will also be provided, as well as 
some other protocols like ARP and TFTP.  The futures for DHCP, like 
integrating with DNS (dynamically updating DNS) and IPv6 may also be discussed.

Finally, we discuss various companies and their products who presently offer 
DHCP server solutions (these companies include QIP, Sun, Novell, and
Microsoft.
