dhcpcd question

[Joel Hammer]

bootps		67/tcp		# BOOTP server
bootpc		68/tcp		# BOOTP client

eth1 is plugged into the comcast network.
I am not running a dhcp server on this machine.
I conclude that the server, broadcasting from its port 67, is broadcasting
to any client listening on port 68. I do no know of any documentation
for a server to do this in RFC 2131. Indeed, I have no processes
listening to port 68. Does comcast have it show dhcpcd software that it
gives its customers to use?
My dhcpcd doesn't log anything except when it stops.
