The config protocol, like BOOTP and DHCP, is a protocol which configures other protocols. The protocols differ in scope. The BOOTP and DHCP protocols configure state for other Internet protocols, such as for IP itself. The DSM-CC config protocol initializes the state of the DSM-CC session protocol. The role of the DSM-CC U-N config protocol is to create the precondition for session set-up. Any other configuration protocol is equally acceptable as long as the first session preconditions can be met.
