Description-en: MAC address aware DHCPv6 server written in Python
Dhcpy6d delivers IPv6 addresses for DHCPv6 clients, which can be
identified by DUID, hostname or MAC address as in the good old IPv4
days. It allows easy dualstack transistion, addresses may be
generated randomly, by range, by arbitrary ID or MAC address. Clients
can get more than one address, leases and client configuration can be
stored in databases and DNS can be updated dynamically.
