This is not entirely correct. When the lease expires the client will try to
renew its lease. If it still can reach its original gateway it should not
switch.
However, this might not be desired. The connection towards the old gateway
might just be good enough to let the DHCP request through but is horrible when
used for real data. In that case it would be smarter if batman dropped the
renewal attempt to make sure the client switches.
We have to find the right balance between breaking the established connections
and having a usable connection.
Cheers,
Marek
