DHCP is an open-source, redistributable software that provides a complete reference implementation solution for all aspects of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.
ISC DHCP is a DHCP suite which comprises of three tools - a DHCP server, a DHCP client, and a DHCP relay agent. If you are looking for a freely distributable reference implementation of all aspects of DHCP, ISC DHCP is the perfect choice for you.
ISC DHCP is designed using a modular API that is sufficiently general to easily work on both POSIX-compliant operating systems, and non-POSIX systems like Windows NT and MacOS. The DHCP server, client, and relay agent are provided as reference implementations of the protocol, as well as working, fully-featured sample implementations.
Both the DHCP client and the DHCP server provide functionality that is not strictly required by the protocol, but is incredibly useful in practice. The DHCP server is particularly noteworthy as it makes allowances for non-compliant clients which one might want to support.
Overall, ISC DHCP is an excellent DHCP suite, offering users comprehensive implementation of DHCP, with a host of additional features that can make it a valuable part of any software suite.
