Description Pavel Simerda 2013-05-07 15:13:53 UTC 
Linux >= 3.9 supports lifetime setting also with IPv4 addresses. It is safe to configure the lifetime for linux < 3.9, it's just ignored. This will guarantee destruction of dynamic addresses as required by RFC even if something goes wrong with NetworkManager and will at the same time ease dynamic connection take over.
Comment 1 Pavel Simerda 2013-07-30 16:18:07 UTC 
Support for IPv4 DHCP lifetimes is in git master.
