Comprehensive Report on Networking: DHCP, Internet Revolution

This report provides an overview of networking concepts, focusing on Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), its advantages and disadvantages, and security concerns associated with its implementation. It further discusses the process of packet travel in the internet using TCP/IP and explores the significant evolution of the internet, highlighting the impact of technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and the Internet of Things. The report emphasizes the importance of proper routing and DHCP implementation for enhanced security and concludes by underscoring the transformative role of networking in shaping the future, with continuous advancements expected to further improve its capabilities.

Introduction
The networking is one of the rising concept in the world that is changing the entire
scenario of the world. In the present time, each and every new technology is made up using
the networking theory. In this paper, it is required to show a network diagram consisting the
Personal computers and routers that can connect to each other (Deering & Hinden, 2017).
This assignment will help to ensure that how the proper connections are made using the
system analysis and how the system analysis of networking done.
Pros and cons
The DHCP or the dynamic host configuration protocol can be explained as the server
architecture that help in the process of the DHCP management in a network. The major
advantage of the using the DHCP is that it helps in the process of the Internet management in
a better way (Hinden, 2017). That is one can set up IP addresses manually hence making it
easier for the user to understand and assign the IP addresses. When there is a change in the
network, the User does not have to take strain of the IP change, instead the DHCP
management helps in the process of the IP modification without the need of the user. Further
the DHCP also helps in the process of the centralised network administration and
configuration. Other than this the DHCP helps in the BOOTP client management (Ricketts et
al., 2016). Further when there is a need to manage very large number of Ip systems then the
DHCP helps in the process of the managing large networks in an easy manner. Apart from
the advantage of the DHCP there are several disadvantages and server configuration faults.
One of the major problem of the DHCP server is that if there is one single fault in the
network then the entire network is jammed. Hence the management has to ensure that there is
no fault in the DHCP system. Other than this one of the other major fault in the system is that
the DHCP packets cannot travel thorough the routers and hence there is a need to set up of

the relay agents. Hence it becomes tougher for the managers to locate all the system at the
same time. Security is one of the other major concern for the DHCP servers. As the DHCP
does not check for the client verification hence it becomes easier to attack in this type of the
network.
Internet Revolution
The process of the packet traveling in the internet is much simple. Each packet in
internet send similarly to a normal mail service. The TCP/IP process, further helps in the
process of the identification of the sending address and the receiving address. Once the
sending and receiving address is confirmed the file is sent (Loo, Mauri, & Ortiz, 2016). In the
modern time the use of the internet is everywhere, every sector of the world is connected to
the internet and hence it can be understood that the concept of internet have chnenged a lot in
the past years. Since the beginning of the internet, researchers have been trying to implement
something new every time and in the 21st century. With the advancement in the technology
every aspect of the internet have changed (Madakam, Ramaswamy & Tripathi, 2015). New
technologies like the Artificial intelligence, machine learning, internet of things every aspect
of the internet have changed. There have been a significant change in the speed of internet as
well as cost of accessing internet has reduced (Chen & Atwood, 2018). This have helped a lot
to the common public in accessing the internet technology. With the use of the internet of the
things now every sector of a city is connected to each other.
Conclusion
Thus, concluding the topic it must be said that the concept of the networking is one of
the most important thing that has enveloped in the past years. The processes of the routing
and DHCP needs to be properly implanted in order to enhance the security. The evolution of
the internet have also helped a lot in the process of this improvement. There are more

changes that are yet to come and hence will help in better way to shape the future of the
world.
