My laptops are often asleep for more than 60 minutes at a time. When I open them up, I expect network availability pretty much immediately (I am rather impatient), and (preferably) my SSH sessions intact. If I set my DHCP server's lease time as you suggest, I would often have to wait several seconds for my laptop to reacquire an address after waking up if there was any packet loss in the DHCP handshake, and if I happened to get a different IP, my SSH sessions would die. Seeing as 99.9% of device-hours logged on my router are the same four devices, I have no reason not to have a long lease time (3 days, my router's default). It's not like I'm running a Starbucks.

Odd. My non-systemd machine gets an address long before I'm able to unlock the lock screen... and I'm a fast typer. It's entirely possible that my machine is an outlier, tho. :) > ...and if I happened to get a different IP, my SSH sessions would die. You don't have "static leases" for all of your known devices that live in a range that's not served to unknown devices? Anyway. Here's hoping that I hear from pbhjpbhj. :)
