I doubt you could implement it in hardware - there's just so much involved. As both a primer and in-depth volume, I'd recommend you get hold of "The DHCP Handbook" by Ted Lemon and Ralph Droms. That will explain how the protocol works, and hopefully give you an idea of just how much is involved.<br>
<br>
Apart from anything else, if you were to implement just DHCP in hardware, what would you use the information for if there wasn't a software stack to use it ?<br>
So in reality, you'd be needing to use a full software stack - even if it was stripped down to the bare essentials. Once you are using software, then all the components are already written for you.<br>
