Red Hat QA has noticed that a FreeRADIUS v3.0.1 server set up to use TCP with a home server still listens for replies on UDP.
No. It still opens a *port* on UDP. It only listens for replies on the same port that it sends packets from.
In this case, since you only have TCP home servers, packets will be sent ONLY with TCP. The UDP proxy port will not be used for anything.
Understood, thank you, Alan.
Could this have been done to simplify handling of mixed-protocol server pools?
No. It happens because the server doesn't notice that it has no UDP traffic. So it still opens a proxy UDP port.
The only downside to the proxy UDP port is that you have another port open. The server will never use the port for anything.
Can you tell how hard would it be to fix this and would a fix for this be desirable? Thank you. Nick
