dhcp is a Mirage DHCP unikernel server based on charrua-core, included as a part of the MirageOS unikernel example and starting-point repository.

Features

• Dhcp_server supports a stripped down ISC dhcpd.conf, so you can probably just use your old dhcpd.conf. It also supports manual configuration building in OCaml.
• Dhcp_wire provides marshalling and unmarshalling utilities for DHCP, it is the base for Dhcp_server.
• Logic/sequencing is agnostic of IO and platform, so it can run on Unix as a process, as a Mirage unikernel or anything else.
• All DHCP options are supported at the time of this writing.
• Code is purely applicative.
• It's in OCaml, so it's pretty cool.

The name charrua is a reference to the, now extinct, semi-nomadic people of southern South America.
