On a network, when data is transferred between the hosts, it is passed through several stages.Data is actually passed through a very complex process at the sender and receiver than it apparently looks to be.During transmission data is broken down into smaller chunks of data so that they can be carried on the wire.These chunks are given appropriate headers, encapsulated and then passed through several layers to reach the destination.In this research we capture DHCP packets by using wireshark to deeply investigate and analyse them.We investigate how DHCP Client/Server request and reply messages work and what values and parameters are considered during this whole process.
