The free DHCP solution, ISC, seems to be having scaling issues (i.e. handling only about 200 DHCPDISCOVER and 20 DHCPRENEW requests), and I was wondering if anyone had any open source suggestions of solutions that could scale much better?
Where do you get that ISC DHCPD only handles 200 DHCPDISCOVER / 20 DHCPRENEW requests? That doesn't sound right. So I wonder what are you measuring? Is this a number of answers per second your implementation of ISC DHCPD is providing successfully? There are architectural facts about any environment besides what software is performing the DHCP task. How many I/Os + fsync()'s per second can this DHCP server handle that does only 20 renews? -- -JH
