(and potentially other IP stacks) to assign an IP address and other wide-area
networking settings to a requesting device automatically. With plug-and-play
you can use the Pipeline to respond to distant networks without having to
configure an IP address first.
• If there is an IP address that is reserved for the host, the Pipeline assigns the
reserved address.
• If the host is renewing the address it currently has, the Pipeline assigns the
host the same address.
When a host gets a dynamically assigned IP address from one of the address
pools, it periodically renews the lease on the address until it has finished
using it, as defined by the DHCP protocol. If the host renews the address
before its lease expires, the Pipeline always provides the same address.
• If the host is making a new request and there is no IP address reserved for the
host, the Pipeline assigns the next available address from its address pools.
Up to two 20-address pools of contiguous IP addresses are drawn from.
Addresses are assigned using the first available address from the first pool or,
if there are no available addresses in that pool and there is a second pool, the
first available address in the second pool.
