OK, I understand. They 142 is a "Start" message whereas 134, and 236
are "Stop" messages with different Acct-Session-Ids.

They are not on the same LAN. This delay is induced by SQL based IP assignment.

Specially when around 30 concurrent Auth queries are made, the
accounting response (Start) takes about 30 seconds (Delayed by New
Auth requests) to reach NAS leading to the ultimate Auth failures.

Could Accouting-Responses be prioritized over New Auth-queries?

Many Thanks.
