Hello,

the problem is that when the load average exceeds the value of 50% we
received more conflicting packets on radiusLog file
and our freeradius server starts dropping packets that is why iam asking
you about this however when we disable detail module we don't receive
conflicting packets.

Thanks
Bassem
