A host SHOULD NOT implement these messages.
The Information Request/Reply pair was intended to support self-configuring systems such as diskless workstations, to allow them to discover their IP network numbers at boot time. However, the RARP and BOOTP protocols provide better mechanisms for a host to discover its own IP address.
