Hi ,
On the wireshark GUI I have tried to filter using the keywords dhcp and ssdp for the DHCP and SSDP protocol but the wireshark throws an error message stating "dhcp" is not a protocol? 
Can someone suggest something ?

Use "bootp". DHCP is (more or less) a superset of BOOTP. The parsing of the dhcp components is done within the bootp dissector.
Should we change the instances of "bootp" in the BOOTP/DHCP dissector to "dhcp"? This isn't the first time this has confused someone.
