Hi All,

   I have very basic stupid doubt. Can anyone help to resolve this.

DHCP, is used for dynamically configuring IP address, mask, MTU, DNS
domain, .... for a host. DHCP is a application layer protocol, but the
values it configures are related to IP layer. How come DHCP can
configure when its data packet in embedded in to IP datagram, which
are disparate layers. I am little confused. Please clarify. Thanks.
