The DHCP Lease Handlers are specialized components responsible for processing lease information received from DHCP clients and updating the system accordingly. The implementation consists of separate handlers for DHCPv4 and DHCPv6, each tailored to the specific requirements and characteristics of their respective protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Architecture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The lease handlers implement a multi-layered processing architecture:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
