As others have said, Kea is a DHCP server.

More than that, it is an ISC project, is the successor to ISC DHCP (now end-of-life & unsupported for a few years), and weirdly started out as part of BIND 10.

(And I vaguely recall it's used as the DHCP component in a few other things, like maybe Infoblox).

Would be nice if Infoblox used Kea instead of dhcpd, that way you could change DHCP reservations without having to restart the services to have it take effect.
