Design relay daemon in Kea
As of June 2021, Kea provides the DHCP server functionality, with relay agent and client functionalities missing. The client likely never going to happen, but with relay there is some possibility. At this time, we would love to get some feedback from potential users and customers who are interested in the relay functionality. Please post your thoughts here.
In particular, details about your deployment use cases are most useful. Most people assume that the relay functionality is provided by hardware routers and switches and there's very limited need for software relay. Counter-arguments for this reasoning would be much appreciated.
Steps necessary:
-
decide if there's a need for software relay -
write down requirements -
architecture design -
implement skeleton code -
implement relay functionality for v4 -
implement relay functionality for v6
