DESCRIPTION

12       The kea-ctrl-agent provides a REST service for controlling Kea
13       services. The received HTTP requests are decapsulated and forwarded to
14       the respective Kea services in JSON format. Received JSON responses are
15       encapsulated within HTTP responses and returned to the controlling
16       entity. Some commands may be handled by the Control Agent directly, and
17       not forwarded to any Kea service.
