Hi Guys,

I have a TAC case open on this but It looks like once a week or so when the 
perfect storm arises we are hitting this one for a couple of minutes:

WLC sends Radius packets with same ID without doing Radius ID check
CSCuo96366
Description
Symptom:
Clients are not able to Authenticate at Peak loads when using FreeRadius.

Conditions:
Using Freed radius (most susceptible), we observe at high auth rate and if 
Radius server is not responding to all Radius packets in seq order or if the 
server is slow, WLC when wraps around 0-255 Radius ID's, it does not do a check 
when posting new packet.

So essentially you have 2 packets with same ID being presented to AAA server.
---

The funny thing is that 9 of 10 WLC's are working fine against the same servers 
at the same time - the problem only happens on one WLC.  When it occurs we see 
this in the logs (Notice the same ID number 253 below)

servername radiusd[23964]: Discarding conflicting packet from client (IP of 
WLC) port 32770 - ID: 253 due to recent request 57345605.
servername radiusd[23964]: Discarding conflicting packet from client (IP of 
WLC) port 32770 - ID: 253 due to recent request 57347264

Wondering if other Cisco WLC customers see this since I know a lot of you are 
using FreeRADIUS, or FreeRADIUS-based authentication servers.  If so, let me 
know of any solutions and/or work-arounds.
