Description

When deploying IPv6 on a Dutch FttH network I found no open source DHCPv6 server suitable for that scenario. All of them are designed for a dynamic network, while the ISP wants to assign fixed IPv6 prefixes to customers and not assign anything else. Such a configuration was a hack as best and made the DHCPv6 server shut itself down at worst. So I wrote my own fully customisable DHCPv6 server in Python3 and made it open source. This is the result.
