DDNS (Dynamic DNS) Used in conjunction with DHCP to obtain the name from the IP address when while using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to obtain IP addresses automatically.
APIPA Automatic Private Addressing A Link Local Addressing technique used on some MS systems. Assigns IP address in the 169.254.0.0 range when DHCP server cannot be reached.
BOOTP Protocol used primarily to assign addresses to diskless clients.
DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol A protocol that provides dynamic assignment of IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateways, DNS server addresses, and more.
DHCP client A computer that contains TCP/IP software and is not manually configured with TCP/IP parameters.
DHCP server A computer that is capable of configuring DHCP client computers with an IP address, a subnet mask, and other TCP/IP configuration parameters.
DNS Service DISCOVERY A means for clients to learn about services on a zero configuration network.
Link Local Addressing A technique for zero configuration IP address assignment.
Multicast DNS DNS Name resolution without a server or a preconfigured hosts file.
Zeroconfig A collection of protocols designed to deliver TCP/IP services with zero configuration.
NAT Network Address Translation A secure method of using a private addressing scheme internally that is translated to a public IP address to the Internet.
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 Class A range of private addresses. These cannot be routed on the Internet.
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 Class B range of private addresses. These cannot be routed on the Internet.
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 Class C range of private addresses. These cannot be routed on the Internet.
