DHCP Server go package?

[krolaw]

Hi,

Has anyone released a DHCP server library for go?  And if so, where?

Thanks in advance.

I have one that I've been meaning to open-source for awhile, but (unfortunately) it's been picking up more and more stuff that will make it harder.  I'll bump it up on my priority list, though no guarantees.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Kyle, 

    How's your DHCP server library going?

Well, it's been done for awhile and it works great ;-)

 

    I am looking for a DHCP server for go also. Actually I want to write a fresh DHCP server which can handle thousands requests in second, and can be programmed dynamically. In a cloud environment, current dhcpd/dnsmasq sucks.

The problem is finding time to polish it up for public consumption.  It is, unfortunately, still blocked behind some other higher priority items at the moment for me.

There are other standard dhcp servers that are stronger than dnsmasq, have you tried lowering the number of dhcp requests?
I have always assumed the ISC one was fairly robust.
The network I live on has roughly 800 dhcp requesters and our dhcpd gets about 2 reqs a second with the exception of mornings.
To get 1000/second following that pattern you would need 40k dhcp requesters...  At which point you might want to put some of them on say a totally different ethernet fabric/switch/vlan and have multiple dhcp servers.

If it's going to take a while, could there be an unofficial release of what you have?

I'm sure it's far superior to what I would have to cobble together.

Thanks.

No, because it has things that can't be shared publicly :P

Any Progress? :) I am in need of such a thing myself xD

The DHCP spec is tiny, I doubt it'd take more than an hour to write up the basics from scratch: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol

Now i'm writing dhcp server for my own needs but using openflow. 

Do you need server like http.Serve or something like blocks (Request/Reply messages and so) and constuct own server?

I have enough difficulty working out if the packet information in wikipedia is 32 bit or what or its endianness is or anything haha

Wikipedia is good as an overview only. For a real reference use the
particular RFCs. However, packets are almost universally described in
network byte order. I can't recall a counterexample right now.

golang struct.
