Is there a rule of thumb / best practice in a way ?

Which means that devices that stop generating traffic will get removed after 360 minutes.
Connections will get removed after 720 minutes. As I'm using a portal for a hotel, where 'clients' arrive' and 'clients leave' is somewhat known upfront.
Btw : a third hidden parameter : make your DHCP lease period twice the hard timeout.Also, if a soft time is set, you can omit the hard time out. Or the other way around.
