thanks for writing such a clear and easy to read explanation of DHCP. I simply wanted to know what type of device issues DHCP addresses – but guess what – there is no clear straightforward answer anywhere on dozens of articles on DHCP – they all say ‘…issued by a DHCP server…’ but what I wanted to know was what that (physically). You mention early on in your article that they are issued by routers – brilliant – that’s all I wanted to know – thanks again.
