    The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Is A Standardized Networking Protocol Used

    Uploaded by

    Karthick Lakshminarayanan
    Ports are used to uniquely identify applications and processes running on a single computer so they can share a physical network connection. A port is identified by a 16-bit number that is combined with an IP address to form the full destination address for communication. Common protocols like TCP and UDP use ports to direct data packets to the correct process. The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is used to automatically distribute IP addresses and networking settings from a DHCP server to interfaces and services on a network.

    In computer networking, a port is an application-specific or process-specific software construct

    serving as a communications endpoint in a computer's host operating system. The purpose of


    ports is to uniquely identify different applications or processes running on a single computer
    and thereby enable them to share a single physical connection to a packet-switched network
    like the Internet. In the context of the Internet Protocol, a port is associated with an IP address
    of the host, as well as the type of protocol used for communication.
    The protocols that primarily use ports are the Transport Layer protocols, such as the
    Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) of the Internet
    Protocol Suite. A port is identified for each address and protocol by a 16-bit number, commonly
    known as the port number. The port number, added to a computer's IP address, completes the
    destination address for a communications session. That is, data packets are routed across the
    network to a specific destination IP address, and then, upon reaching the destination computer,
    are further routed to the specific process bound to the destination port number.

    The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a standardized networking protocol used
    on Internet Protocol (IP) networks for dynamically distributing network configuration
    1
    parameters, such as IP addresses for interfaces and services. With DHCP, computers request IP
    addresses and networking parameters automatically from a DHCP server, reducing the need for
    a network administrator or a user to configure these settings manually.
