Class of Service
The IP address of a router that a host can use as its first hop when the host does not
know a more specific route to a given destination.
A manually configured (static) route whose destination is 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 and therefore
matches every packet's destination. A router uses a default route to forward packets that
do not match a more specific route.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (RFC 2131, RFC3315). A mechanism for
allocating IP addresses dynamically so that addresses can be reused when hosts no
longer need them.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Servers are servers that grant the address and do
parameter assignment to requested clients in the network. Current interest is that these
servers provide TFTP server and boot file information.
Data Link Layer
Domain Name System servers that provide the IP address mapping to the name of the
hosts.
