DHCP
Message Mode Description
DHCPDISCOVER broadcast --> Client requests an IP address
DHCPOFFER <-- unicast DHCP server offers an IP address from its pool
DHCPREQUEST broadcast --> Client notifies all DHCP servers that it has accepted an IP address from server x
DHCPACK <-- unicast DHCP server acknowledges the DHCPREQUEST message from the client

 

Phase

Transmission Method

Description

Discover broadcast --> The client broadcasts a DHCPDISCOVER message on the physical subnet to find available servers. The client creates a UDP packet with the broadcast destination of 255.255.255.255 or the subnet broadcast address.
Offer <-- unicast When a DHCP server receives an IP lease request from a client, it extends an IP lease offer. This is done by reserving an IP address for the client and sending a DHCPOFFER message across the network to the client. This message contains the client's MAC address, followed by the IP address that the server is offering, the subnet mask, the lease duration, and the IP address of the DHCP server making the offer.
Request broadcast --> When the client PC receives an IP lease offer, it must tell all the other DHCP servers that it has accepted an offer. To do this, the client broadcasts a DHCPREQUEST message containing the IP address of the server that made the offer. When the other DHCP servers receive this message, they withdraw any offers that they might have made to the client. They then return the address that they had reserved for the client back to the pool of valid addresses that they can offer to another computer. Any number of DHCP servers can respond to an IP lease request, but the client can only accept one offer per network interface card.
Acknowledge <-- unicast When the DHCP server receives the DHCPREQUEST message from the client, the final phase of the configuration process is initiated. The acknowledgement phase involves sending a DHCPACK packet to the client. This packet includes the lease duration and any other configuration information that the client might have requested. At this point, the IP configuration process is complete.

Field

Description

Version

This 4-bit field defines the version number of the IP.  For IPv6, the value is 6

Priority

This 4-bit field defines the priority of the packet with respect ot traffic congestion.

  • Congestion-controlled traffic
  • Noncongestion-controlled traffic

Flow label

The flow label is a 3-byte (24-bit) field that is designed to provide special handling for a particular flow of data. We will discuss this field later.

Payload length

The 2-byte payload length field defines the length of the IP datagram excluding the base header.

Next header

  • The next header is an 8-bit field defining the header that follows the base header in the datagram.
  • The next header is either one of the optional extension headers used by IP or the header of an encapsulated packet such as UDP or TCP. Each extension header also contains this field.
  • Table 20.6 shows the values of next headers.
  • Note that this field in version 4 is called the protocol.

Hop limit

This 8-bit hop limit field serves the same purpose as the TTL field in 1Pv4.

Source address

The source address field is a 16-byte (128-bit) Internet address that identifies the original source of the datagram.

Destination address

The destination address field is a 16-byte (128-bit) Internet address that usually identifies the final destination of the datagram.
