I'm seeing quite a few Mon Sep 18 15:02:40 2017 : Warning: EAP packets are arriving from two different upstream servers. Has there been a proxy fail-over?
messages on my ORPS servers and I'm trying to find out where they come from.
They come because the packets for one EAP session are arriving from two different upstream home servers. i.e. packet 1 comes from upstream A, and packet 2 comes from upstream B. This usually indicates that the upstreams are broken, and failover over in stupid ways. Or, a server C is doing load-balancing across upstream server A and B, but isn't paying attention to the EAP state. They SHOULD be load-balancing based on something common to all of the EAP packets, like Calling-Station-ID. Or... maybe there are networking issues between your server and upstream server C. So server C thinks your site is down, and tries to fail-over to another path.
However, when I try running FR in degug mode I never see the above errors.
Running in debug mode shouldn't change the behaviour of the upstream servers. Alan DeKok.
