Hi,

 

I’ve noticed that rlm_ippool is nearly always reassigning an IP address that has just been releasing for a new connexion. This cause some TCP connexion problems because of the TIME_WAIT state.

 

Scenario:

1/ one device connects using source port 1024 (ppp) and gets an IP address from freeradius

2/ this device disconnects, the ip is freed from the pool

3/ another devices connects using source port 1024 and gets the same ip address as before

4/ the connexion is impossible to the server because the connexion of last device is still in TIME_WAIT state

 

How can I make sure an IP address is not assigned before some time period (240 seconds, time period of the TIME_WAIT state) after being released ?

 

Regards,
