David, a Unix Domain Socket sounds like a good fit. What I want to have happen
over the socket is for my application to mimic a DHCPv6 Client and request IA_NA
and/or IA_PD delegations from kea acting as the DHCPv6 Server. Is that possible?
Thank you - Fred

Subject: Re: [Kea-users] Inter-process communication with the kea server?
Kea provides a control channel that supports Unix Domain Sockets which is a
form of local inter-process communication.
You'll be using a file to communicate with kea instead of the network. The
file path can be configured in kea-dhcp6.conf
"control-socket": {
"socket-type": "unix",
"socket-name": "/tmp/kea6-ctrl-socket"
},
You can send your JSON configs directly there.
Hope this helps!

Hi, I have an application that runs on the same system as the kea server from

to perform inter-process IPv6 address/prefix delegation requests with kea

to engage the network stack. Does kea provide an API for inter-process
communication in
that way?
Thank you - Fred
