The de-facto standard server software for DHCP is the ISC DHCPD.

PXE (Pre-Execution Environment) somewhat standardize the remote booting process. The V2.1 specification from Intel is rather verbose. This does not mean it is flawless. Sometimes it simply contradicts itself... 


  * [[adaptivelease]]

  * [[pxeplusaltiris]]

A patch for DHCPD 3.1.0 to allow scheduled pool (de-)activation

  * [[allow after]]

The default behavior of DHCPD 3.1.0 regarding DHCID might be undesirable under certain circumstances
  * [[alwaysDHCID]]

My patch to queue ACK packets (and batch them in a single fsync() call) is in ISC DHCPD 4.1.0
This gives a significant performance boost on machines where fsync (committing to stable storage) is the limiting factor on the DHCP transaction rate.

  * [[omapi-perl]]

Patch to avoid a segmentation fault in omapi-perl-0.5.2

  * [[dhcpinform subnet selection]]

A patch to implement the RFC 3011 Subnet selection option to DHCPINFORM
