Hello,

I am also facing similar problem under load for authentication, getting
following error
"Received authentication reply packet from 15.13.115.182 with invalid
signature!"

I am using Interlink AAA Radius server product. Any idea what could be the
reason, what is the fix ??

Regds,
Siddu

  That could be caused by the packet being bad, or it could be a
problem seen only under high load.

  Maybe.  Some NASes don't calculate the accounting signature
properly.  (sigh)

  So increase the maximum number of threads.

  The problem may also be that each request is taking a LONG time.  In
that case, the server will use a large number of threads, and the NAS
may re-send requests, if it hasn't seen a reply quickly enough.

  The solution is to figure out why the requests are taking so long,
and solve that.  Once the server responds quickly, most of these
problems should go away.
