As others have said, Kea is a DHCP server.
More than that, it is an ISC project, is the successor to ISC DHCP (now end-of-life & unsupported for a few years), and weirdly started out as part of BIND 10.

(And I vaguely recall it's used as the DHCP component in a few other things, like maybe Infoblox).

- vlowther 1y agoThat sort of thing is why I wrote my own DHCPv4 server that is directly integrated with the core product at $DAYJOB. 10 years ago. Having the DHCP server determine how to handle PXE requests straight from the machine database made my life so much simpler.
