> Lots of routers start choking when they have more than a few thousand DHCP leases.
If someone is running a network of that scale with a dinky little router that chokes at the prospect of remembering a few thousand leases, DHCP really is the least of their problems.
> an apple device going in and out of range of a wifi point all night can easily create thousands of leases, all active for 7 days or whatever the default (and often unconfigurable) lease time is.
This doesn't happen. That's not how it works.
> You soon run out of IP's
"Running out" of non-routable IPs isn't a risk, it's a choice.
