BOOTP Bootstrap Protocol is an Internet protocol that can
automatically configure a network device in a diskless
workstation to give its own IP address.

Communication Communication has four components: sender,
receiver, message, and medium. In networks, devices
and application tasks and processes communicate
messages to each other over media. They represent the
sender and receivers. The data they send is the
message. The cabling or transmission method they use
is the medium.
Connection In networking, two devices establish a connection to
communicate with each other.

DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol was developed
by Microsoft a protocol for assigning dynamic IP
addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic
addressing, a device can have a different IP address
every time it connects to the network. In some
systems, the device's IP address can even change
while it is still connected. DHCP also supports a mix
of static and dynamic IP addresses. This simplifies the
task for network administrators because the software
keeps track of IP addresses rather than requiring an
administrator to manage the task. This means a new
computer can be added to a network without the hassle
of manually assigning it a unique IP address. DHCP
