    You IP address is assigned by your ISP and has a lease period with an expiration date. It will automatically reset the connection and request a new IP address. Its just the way DHCP works and is transparent to the user.

    My guess is it's the expiry time of your dhcp assigned IP address. The duration can simply be uptime.
