Hi everyone,
i need to know if the NAS blocks a REQUEST-ID for the time of processing
this request por is it possible that 2 identical ids are used from one NAS at the
same time for different REQUESTs.
Request-ID is 1 octet. It can/will roll-over pretty quickly, especially on the dense NAS you have today.
For this reason there are other methods used to identify distinct radius packets from the same NAS, such as the 16 octet Request-Authenticator, which is per the RFC uniquely generated for each distinct session.
Additionally, the RFC says this about the Indentifier field:
http://www.freeradius.org/rfc/rfc2865.html Section 3. Packet Format
Identifier
The Identifier field is one octet, and aids in matching requests
and replies. The RADIUS server can detect a duplicate request if
it has the same client source IP address and source UDP port and
Identifier within a short span of time.-Chris -- \\\|||/// \ StarNet Inc. \ Chris Parker \ ~ ~ / \ WX *is* Wireless! \ Director, Engineering | @ @ | \ http://www.starnetwx.net \ (847) 963-0116 oOo---(_)---oOo--\------------------------------------------------------ \ Wholesale Internet Services - http://www.megapop.net
