Thank you, David, Dan! I missed it 😊

The thing is, Kea seems to be designed to support a large number of subnets and DB backend. In this case it is better to use an integer because I don't think you want a string based primary key on a DB table with millions of entries. Regarding your second question I believe you may find some answers here: https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/kea-2.4.0/arm/dhcp4-srv.html#address-allocation-strategies-in-dhcpv4<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/kea.readthedocs.io/en/kea-2.4.0/arm/dhcp4-srv.html*address-allocation-strategies-in-dhcpv4__;Iw!!Hit2Ag!xveYbOF4SxD_yTFDgWXmMsqPjCqOx_bFWSTyM2qY5umOFDia9g8u05UL97yAOd-fcyJfJH79fWVwopa8h24qdw$> Regards, David On Mon, May 6, 2024 at 9:21 AM <mxhajducze...@gmail.com<mailto:mxhajducze...@gmail.com>> wrote: I can confirm – the lack of support for string ID is pretty annoying right now, and forces me to create ranges for specific applications, which will not scale well in production. On the second one, I observed that it goes numerically from the bottom of the pool range up, so ::2, ::3, etc. In ISC, it seems to have been random selection from the pool, with attempt made to populate all stanzas. Kea seems to prefer numerically incrementing assignment, which is pretty bad for security purposes (if a user knows it, they can pretty much guess previous assignments). I preferred personally the old ISC way of doing things.

First, seems currently we can only assign numeric IDs to subnets, but for subnet management, it’s more convenient to use a string, is it possible to add this feature? Second, how kea design to distribute the ip addresses inside of the subnet esp ipv6 subnet? Is it totally random? Thank you.
