What is DHCP in Wireshark?

DHCP is a client/server protocol used to dynamically assign IP-address parameters (and other things) to a DHCP client. It is implemented as an option of BOOTP. Some operating systems (including Windows 98 and later and Mac OS 8.5 and later) use APIPA to locally assign an IP-address if no DHCP server is available.
