Hi Scott, > - At what point would you move from the memfile and go to a database?
I would not recommend moving to a database unless you have a specific need for database storage. This context seems to be about performance and database lease storage will be less performant than memfile. > > - How many pools would the server be able to handle without breaking? I don't know if that number is specifically tested, but I've seen configurations with hundreds of subnets and hundreds of shared networks. > - And what if they are all going through the same NIC (relayed from routers)? This shouldn't make any difference to performance. > > Right now I am looking at about 20 pools ranging from /27 to /22 subnets to > bring into Kea and need to know how far I can push it. Depending on the hardware you use and lease lengths (which directly affects leases per second) you should be fine.
