... and moreover, last I checked, unbundled products such as the Netra HA suite have their own custom DHCP server datastore written to the publically documented plugin API. There are some surprising things included in the justification for replacing the server, such as: | 3) Scalability and Performance | | ISC DHCP daemon being a more modern code base scales and performs better | than Solaris' out-of-date DHCP daemon even when ISC is using a text file | for IP information vs. Solaris' SUNWbin format. When the Solaris DHCP | daemon is configured to use SUNWtext format, performance and scalability | is even more noticeable. First, I presume "SUNWtext" is supposed to be "SUNWfiles". Second, I'd like to understand how ISC is outperforming SUNWbinfiles, since when we did this work (back in 2000), the Sun DHCP server was orders of magnitude faster. We have tools like DTrace, so where's the analysis? -- meem _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
