DHCP is software that automatically assigns IP addresses to client stations 
logging onto a TCP/IP network. DHCP eliminates having to manually 
assign permanent IP addresses to every device on your network. DHCP 
software typically runs in servers and is also found in network devices such 
as Routers. 

Discrete Multi-Tone frequency signal modulation 

The line rate for return messages or data transfers from the network 
machine to the user's premises machine.

A dynamic IP address is an IP address that is automatically assigned to a 
client station (computer, printer, etc.) in a TCP/IP network. Dynamic IP 
addresses are typically assigned by a DHCP server, which can be a 
computer on the network or another piece of hardware, such as the Router. 
A dynamic IP address may change every time your computer connects to 
the network. 

The technique used by layered protocols in which a layer adds header 
information to the protocol data unit (PDU) from the layer above. As an 
example, in Internet terminology, a packet would contain a header from the 
physical layer, followed by a header from the network layer (IP), followed 
by a header from the transport layer (TCP), followed by the application 
protocol data.
