A comment on Dora: A open-source Rust DHCP Server.

Whats the motivation behind this and how does it compete with ISC DHCPd and Kea? I am operating a mid sized infrastructure using ISC DHCPd and plan on the long run to migrate to Kea for its API, Stork interface and convenience tools.

ISC DHCPD is end of life [1] and unlike Kea this server is written in a memory safe language (Rust). So from a security perspective alone that's enough motivation to start a project.

I touch on this below: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33895978

Wouldn't say Dora is competing. The project is in the early days and isn't feature parity to either. Some in the industry have voiced gaps & concerns that I reference in my comment.
