[kea-dev] Call for comments about the Decline design

[Tomek Mrugalski]

Hi everyone,
As part of the Kea 1.0 preparation, I wrote a short document about our
intended design for Decline support. It is described here:

http://kea.isc.org/wiki/DeclineDesign

The major idea is to use special hardware address or duid values to
indicate a declined address and keep it in the regular lease database.
With this approach, the amount of work is greatly reduced, there is
almost no performance degradation and this approach is proven
(implemented years ago in Dibbler) to work well.

I'd like to hear your opinions on this proposal. We plan to conclude the
design discussions around end of July.
