2. Preboot Execution Environment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preboot_Execution_Environment

   A high-level PXE overview. In computing, the Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE; often pronounced as / ˈ p ɪ k s iː / pixie, often called PXE boot (pixie boot), is a specification describing a standardized client–server environment that boots a software assembly, retrieved from a network, on PXE-enabled clients.

3. Remote Installation Services - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Installation_Services

   At boot time, a workstation that has been set to boot from PXE will issue a BOOTP request via the network. Once the request is received, the DHCP Server will supply an IP address to the machine, and the DNS server will point the client computer to the RIS server, which in turn will issue a disc boot image (often called the "OS Chooser").

4. Bootstrap Protocol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrap_Protocol

   When a network-connected computer boots up, its IP stack broadcasts BOOTP network messages requesting an IP address assignment. A BOOTP configuration server replies to the request by assigning an IP address from a pool of addresses, which is preconfigured by an administrator. BOOTP is implemented using the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for ...

5. gPXE - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPXE

   gPXE is an open-source Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) client firmware implementation and bootloader derived from Etherboot.It can be used to enable computers without built-in PXE support to boot from the network, or to extend an existing client PXE implementation with support for additional protocols.

6. Remote Initial Program Load - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Initial_Program_Load

   For DOS remote boot to work, the RPL boot loader is loaded into the client's memory over the network before the operating system starts. Without special precautions the operating system could easily overwrite the RPL code during boot, since the RPL code resides in unallocated memory (typically at the top of the available conventional memory).

7. iPXE - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPXE

   iPXE is an open-source implementation of the Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) client software and bootloader, created in 2010 as a fork of gPXE (gPXE was named Etherboot until 2008). [2] It can be used to enable computers without built-in PXE capability to boot from the network, or to provide additional features beyond what built-in PXE ...

8. Diskless node - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diskless_node

   Diskless nodes process data, thus using their own CPU and RAM to run software, but do not store data persistently—that task is handed off to a server.This is distinct from thin clients, in which all significant processing happens remotely, on the server—the only software that runs on a thin client is the "thin" (i.e. relatively small and simple) client software, which handles simple input ...
