BOOTP helps a diskless workstation boot. How does it get a message to the network looking for its IP address and the location of its operating system boot files

BOOTP sends a UDP message with a subnetwork broadcast address and waits for a reply from a server that gives it the IP address. The same message might contain the name of the machine that has the boot files on it. If the boot image location is not specified, the workstation sends another UDP message to query the server.
