It can 'see', because it *also* saw all of the client requests and knows which ones it expected to be handled by Kea1 (as noted earlier in the thread it even emits a log message indicating this).

Forgive my presumption, but I assumed that 'max-unacked-clients' would be a counter of 'unacked clients' which belong to a Kea server *other than this one*. I don't immediately know how counting the number of clients *this server* has not acked would be useful, although I won't be surprised to learn that it is useful to someone.
