Both BOOTP and DHCP use the same reserved protocol ports for sending and
receiving messages between servers and clients. Both BOOTP and DHCP
servers use UDP port 67 to listen for and receive client request
messages. BOOTP and DHCP clients typically reserve UDP port 68 for
accepting message replies from either a BOOTP server or DHCP server.
Because DHCP and BOOTP messages use nearly identical format types and
packet structures, and typically use the same well-known service ports,
BOOTP or DHCP relay agent programs usually treat BOOTP and DHCP
messages as essentially the same message type, without differentiating
between them.
