<div>I would expect that the limit for a wifi hotspot would need
to be quite a bit lower—it seems to me that you're saving a very
small amount of DHCP traffic, at the expense of potential
address starvation if too many devices get long leases before
they leave.</div>

Right, but on a wifi hotspot you're probably just as well off with
nothing more complex than a short lease time. This concept would
only be useful on a network large enough that frequent DHCP renewals
are putting a major load on the network or DHCP server. For the
majority of us, it wouldn't really be necessary. <br>
