DHCP is a network configuration protocol for hosts on IP networks. Computers that are connected to IP networks must be configured before they can communicate with other hosts. The most essential information needed is an IP address, and a default route and routing prefix. DHCP eliminates the manual task by a network administrator. It also provides a central database of devices that are connected to the network and eliminates duplicate resource assignments.
Next generation networks raise the bar on essential services such as DHCP. Intelligent DHCP servers advance the state of the art for device and modem configuration with next generation software architectures, offering:
Extremely high performance, thousands of lease grants per second, and scaling to a million leases per system
Unique active-active failover to eliminate downtime from resynchronizing databases as with active/standby deployments
Fine grained policies to maximize configuration flexibility and efficiency of address allocation
Seamless integration with policy stores via LDAP
Real time exchange of information with provisioning, auditing, and compliance systems.
Highly optimized, memory resident database providing inherent robustness and rapid restart so critical protocols like Dynamic DNS protocol (DDNS) and services like VoIP and IPTV are responsive and always available.
Simultaneous support for DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 (as well as IPv4 and IPv6 transport) with extensive statistics and management capabilities.
Demand for IP addressing services is increasing. More and more devices such as smartphones and tablets need to connect to the Internet via fixed, mobile and Wi-Fi networks. To meet this current and future connectivity Nominum’s Intelligent DHCP technology provides performance, scalability and 100% availability to Network Operators. Our technology augments basic DHCP operations with a high-performance architecture, open interfaces for integration with Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS), Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), or other provisioning systems, failover capabilities and future proof IPv6 (DHCPv6) support to help achieve optimal service levels.
