https://www.isc.org/dhcp/

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol which allows
individual devices on an IP network to get their own network
configuration information (IP address, subnetmask, broadcast address,
etc.) from a DHCP server. The overall purpose of DHCP is to make it
easier to administer a large network.

This package provides the ISC DHCP client.

DHCP is no longer maintained by ISC. This package is provided on
best effort basis to cover functionality that is not provided by Kea
and should not be used on production systems.
