At this time, the host-list page will only display up to five detected hosts, where older hosts are removed from the list on newer detections. Thus, the page will always only display up to five recent detections.

This is particularly problematic on networks with plenty of devices, where the list will update frequently. Since the current behavior of the list is to only add new devices (previous detections are dismissed), the list will eventually stall.

It is important to note that the host-list page should not exceed the height that of the user agent's window (except for very small windows). Otherwise, the page may eventually become too large, pushing the footer to the bottom and making it difficult to access it. Instead, the actual host list should have its own scroll bar.
