Huh? DHCP is carried in UDP and IP. There is a little funkiness in the
DHCPv4 transport, which we wouldn't have need if IPv4 link-local addresses
had been defined when RFC 2131 was published. DHCPv6 uses link-local
addresses and garden-variety IPv6.

DHCP is a technology that dynamically configures hosts.
That's not the point, the point here is that DHCP is not an Internet protocol.
It is an IETF protocol but not an Internet protocol. It does not layer on the
IP stack.
