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 ??

That could be caused by the packet being bad, or it could be a problem seen only under high load. > The termservers are totalcontrol units, I'm not sure if there is anything > special I have to set somewhere to allow their accounting packets to work? Maybe. Some NASes don't calculate the accounting signature properly.

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.
