Duplicated Access-Request(s) from Coovachilli

[attybro]

Hi, I am facing a problem with Coovachilli 1.4. I am using freeRadius as Radius and it manages authorization-authentication-accounting. The problem is that Coovachilli sends multiple requests to the radius and il looks like it is not waiting the response (even if radius responds properly). So I find 2 Access-Request(s) and so also 2 Accounting-Request(s). These are some parts of the radius log where is possible to see the requests from Coovachilli. Is this a bug? Or is it possible to implement an interval between request?

This is the first Access-Request that is sent from Coovachilli

(4) Received Access-Request Id 4 from 10.0.14.89:3999 to 10.0.10.109:1812 length 260
(4)   CoovaChilli-Version = "1.4"
(4)   User-Name = “xxxx”
(4)   User-Password = “yyyy”
(4)   Service-Type = Framed-User
(4)   Acct-Session-Id = "5a32a90100000001"
(4)   Framed-IP-Address = 10.105.0.4
(4) Finished request

Pretty sure this is a bad NAS implementation(Bug). I have seen this for a long time with coova and sadly still exists.

Wondering if anyone has an update on this issue. Is it really a bug? It seems to manifest itself on larger networks leaving devices in a dnat state and the default bandwidth profile with no ability to pass traffic. I have not been able to duplicate the issue in a lab environment. @sevan, @wlanmac ?
