RFC 1532: Clarifications and Extensions for the Bootstrap Protocol

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 1542.

Current version: RFC 1542 — Clarifications and Extensions for the Bootstrap Protocol

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

Some aspects of the BOOTP protocol were rather loosely defined in its original specification. In particular, only a general description was provided for the behavior of "BOOTP relay agents" (originally called BOOTP forwarding agents"). The client behavior description also suffered in certain ways. This memo attempts to clarify and strengthen the specification in these areas. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
