Kea DHCP IPv6?

[daygle]

No. The idea is:

* DNSmasq DHCP becomes the default DHCP
* ISC DHCP moves to plugins
* Kea DHCP will gain DHCPv6 eventually

The mere fact that Kea is the only maintained effort for HA features will make it stick to the core, but honestly we do not like to see it become the default.

Am I correct in assuming that DNSmasq only supports IPv4? I am currently using a mix of KEA for IPv4 and ISC DHCPv6.

I guess what I am trying to understand is what will the default for DHCPv6 be? KEA or DNSmasq?

FWIW, Dnsmasq rework moves further into 2025 territory. Just too much other priorities at the moment.

Thanks @franco.

So given the findings would you suggest reverting back to ISC DHCPv4 and ISC DHCPv6 until further changes are made in 2025?

Yes, sure.
