Boot Server Discovery Protocol (BSDP)
NetBoot uses an Apple-created extension to BootP and DHCP called Boot Server Discovery
Protocol, or BSDP for short. This protocol implements a method of discovering NetBoot
servers on a network. BSDP allows NetBoot clients to obtain their IP identities from either
the BSDP server or from a DHCP server elsewhere on the network. BSDP provides some
basic load balancing. See “Load Balancing” on page 504.
