DHCP Server.  dnsmasq, isc-dhcpd, [your choice].  Needs to support
    next-server option.

TFTP Server.  tftp-hpa.  Often the same as the DHCP server.  Serves
    out the kernel to the booting systems

--- optional and variable ---
NFS Share.  Often the same as the DHCP Server.  exports a root file
    system, and otherwise lets the system finish booting.  (Getting
    the kernel is just one part of the boot process.)

Bandwidth, RAM, and CPU.
