​DHCP Standardization efforts: The lead developer on KEA is co-chair of the ​Dynamic Host Configuration working group in the ​IETF. We are committed to providing a standards-compliant implementation and are closely tracking developments in this working group and evaluating them for inclusion in KEA.
