[Kea-users] max-unacked-clients definition

[Darren Ankney]

Hello all,

A better way to test this would be with perfdhcp
(https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/kea-2.2.0/man/perfdhcp.8.html) with
something like this:

perfdhcp -4 -y 10 -Y 3600 -r 1 -R 5 -p 3700 -t 60 -l <interface>

You'd need a linux install (virtual on your windows computer would be
fine as long as using bridged adapter of some kind) to install
perfdhcp which is part of Kea.  The relay agent should pick up and
forward (it should be broadcast, in any case, if your DHCP servers are
local).  In either case, both servers should see the packets.  When
you shut one of them down, the packets sent by perfdhcp will already
have increased secs field content.

Thank you,

Darren Ankney
