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
Developed by Microsoft, DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) is 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. It 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. A new computer
can be added to a network without the hassle of
manually assigning it a unique IP address. DHCP
allows the specification for the service provided by a
router, gateway, or other network device that
automatically assigns an IP address to any device that
requests one.
DNS
Domain Name System is an Internet service that
translates domain names into IP addresses. Since
domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to
