+      <para>
+        Management API has been introduced in Kea 0.9.2. It allows issuing specific
+        management commands, like statistics retrieval, reconfiguration or shutdown.
+        For more details, see <xref linkend="ctrl-channel" />. Currently the only
+        supported communication channel type is UNIX stream socket. By default there
+        are no sockets open. To instruct Kea to open a socket, the following entry
+        in the configuration file can be used:
+<screen>
+"Dhcp6": {
+    "control-socket": {
+        "socket-type": "unix",
+        "socket-name": <userinput>"/path/to/the/unix/socket"</userinput>
+    },
+
+    "subnet6": [
+        ...
+    ],
+    ...
+}
+</screen>
+      </para>
+
+      <para>
+        Communication over control channel is conducted using JSON structures.
+        See the Control Channel section in the Kea Developer's Guide for more details.
