  2. Bootstrap Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrap_Protocol

    t. e. The Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) is a computer networking protocol used in Internet Protocol networks to automatically assign an IP address to network devices from a configuration server. The BOOTP was originally defined in RFC 951 published in 1985. While some parts of BOOTP have been effectively superseded by the Dynamic Host ...

  3. Reverse Address Resolution Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Address_Resolution...

    RARP has been rendered obsolete by the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) and the modern Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), which both support a much greater feature set than RARP. RARP requires one or more server hosts to maintain a database of mappings of link layer addresses to their respective protocol addresses. MAC addresses need to be ...

  4. Address Resolution Protocol - Wikipedia

    However, in InARP the requesting station queries the layer-3 address of another node, whereas RARP is used to obtain the layer-3 address of the requesting station itself for address configuration purposes. RARP is obsolete; it was replaced by BOOTP, which was later superseded by the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). [19]

    The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network management protocol used on Internet Protocol (IP) networks for automatically assigning IP addresses and other communication parameters to devices connected to the network using a client–server architecture. [1]

  7. Address translation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_translation

    Reverse Address Resolution Protocol or RARP, a protocol used to find the network layer address of a host, based only on the hardware address. This protocol has been rendered obsolete by both BOOTP and DHCP; Domain name system or DNS, which is used to translate network addresses to human-recognizable domain names; Virtual-to-physical address ...

    Das U-Boot. Das U-Boot (subtitled "the Universal Boot Loader" and often shortened to U-Boot; see History for more about the name) is an open-source boot loader used in embedded devices to perform various low-level hardware initialization tasks and boot the device's operating system kernel. It is available for a number of computer architectures ...

    The Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) was introduced as part of the Wired for Management [2] framework by Intel and is described in the specification published by Intel and SystemSoft. PXE version 2.0 was released in December 1998, and the update 2.1 was made public in September 1999. [3] The PXE environment makes use of several standard ...
