These are a few of the Kea- and IPv6-related tools, websites, and books we have heard of. Please visit our DNS tools and DHCP tools pages if those are relevant to your needs.
Please note that it is your responsibility to check the licensing terms of any software you download. We have not tried all of these; many of them have simply been added on the suggestion of some of our users, so we can’t make any specific claims about suitability or quality.
We welcome notifications for additions, deletions, or broken links; please let us know if something we are linking to is inaccurate. Send any suggestions or corrections to web-request at isc dot org. We also have a separately-maintained list of open source hook libraries for Kea on a GitLab wiki page.
