(also in seconds) that define T1 and T2 timers that govern when the
client will begin the renewal and rebind procedures.
+.. note::
+
+ From Kea 1.6.0 the lease valid lifetime is extended from a
+ single value to a triplet with minimum, default and maximum values using
+ ``min-valid-lifetime``, ``valid-lifetime`` and
+ ``max-valid-lifetime``. When the client does not specify
+ a lifetime the default value is used, when it specifies using a DHCP option
+ code 51 this value is used if it is not lesser than the minimum (in this case
+ the minimum is returned) or greater than the maximum (in this case the
+ maximum is used).
+
.. note::
Both ``renew-timer`` and ``rebind-timer``
specified explicitly or that are calculated as percentages of the
preferred lease time. The server's behavior is governed by a combination
of configuration parameters, two of which have already been mentioned.
+
+From Kea 1.6.0 lease preferred and valid lifetime are extended from
+single values to triplets with minimum, default and maximum values using:
+
+
+- ``min-preferred-lifetime`` - specifies the minimal preferred lifetime (optional).
+
+- ``preferred-lifetime`` - specifies the default preferred lifetime.
+
+- ``max-preferred-lifetime`` - specifies the maximal preferred lifetime (optional).
+
+- ``min-valid-lifetime`` - specifies the minimal valid lifetime (optional).
+
+- ``valid-lifetime`` - specifies the default valid lifetime.
+
+- ``max-valid-lifetime`` - specifies the maximal valid lifetime (optional).
+
+When the client does not specify lifetimes the default is used. When
+it specifies a lifetime using IAADDR or IAPREFIX sub option with not
+zero values these values are used when they are between configured
+minimal (lower values are round up) and maximal (larger values are
+round down) bounds.
+
To send specific, fixed values use the following two parameters:
- ``renew-timer`` - specifies the value of T1 in seconds.
