Kea uses log4cplus (http://sourceforge.net/projects/log4cplus/) for logging,
Boost (http://www.boost.org/) library for almost everything, and can use Botan
(http://botan.randombit.net/) or OpenSSL (https://www.openssl.org/) for
cryptographic operations. It can also optionally use PostgreSQL
(http://www.postgresql.org/) and/or MySQL (http://www.mysql.com/) as a database.

Kea can use googletest for unit-tests (http://code.google.com/p/googletest/).

Kea uses ISC Forge (http://kea.isc.org/wiki/IscForge) for conformance testing.
