[wireguard-devel] About ip management

[nicolas prochazka]

Hello,
I hope not to have misunderstood ip management with wireguard,
in a "server mode operation" , as many peers -> one peer ( server ) ,
private ip configuration must be coherent. In fact, as server / client
example in contrib, server must delivery ip to clients, there's no way for
client to know good private_ip .
We cannot use dhcp, layer 3 , so ...
we need to implement a pool ip manager , is it correct ?

Regards,
Nicolas Prochazka.
