RFC 4388: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Leasequery

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 6148. Read both.

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

A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version 4 (DHCPv4) server is the authoritative source of IP addresses that it has provided to DHCPv4 clients. Other processes and devices that already make use of DHCPv4 may need to access this information. The leasequery protocol provides these processes and devices a lightweight way to access IP address information. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
