Final answer:

Three characteristics of a DHCP Discover message are: broadcast transmission, sent by the DHCP client, and unicast transmission.

Step-by-step explanation:

Three characteristics of a DHCP Discover message are:

  1. Broadcast transmission: The DHCP Discover message is sent as a broadcast signal, which means it is sent to all devices on the network.
  2. Sent by the DHCP client: The DHCP Discover message is initiated by the client device that is looking for an IP address.
  3. Unicast transmission: Although the initial message is broadcast, the DHCP server will respond to the client's request with a unicast transmission.
