WARNING: This repository has been deprecated in favor of nfdhcpd.

Overview

This is nfdhpcd, a userspace server written in python and based on NFQUEUE. The administrator can enable processing of DHCP, NS, RS, DHCPv6 requests on individual TAP interfaces by injecting nfdhcpd in the processing pipeline for IP packets dynamically (by mangling the corresponding packet types and redirect them to the appropriate nfqueue).

The daemon runs on the host and is controlled by manipulating files under its state directory. Creation of a new file under this directory ("binding file") instructs the daemon to reply on the requests arriving on the specified TAP interface.

nfdhpcd is meant to work with Ganeti and snf-network. Instances inside the cluster will obtain their configuration dynamically in a completely transparent way without being aware of nfdhpcd's existence.
