Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) is an application layer protocol that dynamically assigns IP addresses and other
configuration parameters to network end-stations (hosts) based on configuration policies determined by network administrators.
An Aggregator can operate as a DHCP client. As a DHCP client, the Aggregator requests an IP address from a DHCP server.
