A DHCP server follows a complicated algorithm to select an IPv4 address for a client.
It prefers assigning specific addresses requested by the client and the addresses for
which the client has reservations. If the client requests no particular address and
which the client has reservations.
If the client requests no particular address and
has no reservations, or other clients are already using any requested addresses, the server must
find another available address within the configured pools. A server function called
an "allocator" is responsible in Kea for finding an available address in such a case.

Address Allocation Strategies in DHCPv6
=======================================
Allocation Strategies in DHCPv6
===============================
A DHCP server follows a complicated algorithm to select a DHCPv6 lease for a client.
It prefers assigning specific addresses or delegated prefixes requested by the client
and the ones for which the client has reservations. If the client requests no particular
and the ones for which the client has reservations.
When the client requests a specific delegated prefix, there are a few steps that
:iscman:`kea-dhcp6` goes through to try to satisfy the request, in the following
order:
1. It searches for a lease that matches the requested prefix and prefix length.
2. It searches for a lease that matches the prefix length.
3. It searches for a lease with a larger address space (smaller prefix length).
4. It searches for a lease with a smaller address space (larger prefix length).
If the client requests no particular
lease and has no reservations, or other clients are already using any requested leases, the server must
find another available lease within the configured pools. A server function called
an "allocator" is responsible in Kea for finding an available lease in such a case.
