[Kea-users] Inter-process communication with the kea server?

[David Farje]

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!
