[Kea-users] Change in offer packet

[Thomas Andersen]

Hi Marcin,

Thank you very much for your response.
Now I just have to see if there is anyone here at work who can make that ”trivial” hook :)
(I know I can’t myself)

If anyone on this list have already done this, please let me know ;)

Br,
Thomas

    Thomas,
    
    This is not configurable, although it could be because RFC2131 says that
    server SHOULD send to broadcast address (rather than MUST).
    
    The only thing I can suggest to you is to use a hook library that clears
    the broadcast flag in all incoming messages (in the packet4_receive hook
    point).
    
    The bad side of things is that you need to create a hook library. The
    good thing is that it is trivial.
