Routable protocols get through routers without the help of special

The unicast part¹ of DHCP gets through a router just fine without agent.
Get through to what? What is there on the other side of a router, that
didn’t need to be involved in the rest of the exchange?

Ah, I see now: you are all really talking about this “80% DHCP” or
“discount DHCP” or “20%-off DHCP”, aren’t you. While the rest of us were
