If you're using Mikrotik, update to the latest version... I had many
problems with older versions (2.9.x)

Something is blocking the server. This is usually a slow database.
In the last ~10 hours, the status server reports the following for accounting:
Responses 0
Duplicate 954442
Malformed 115045
Invalid 564029
That is *terrible*. Zero responses? It indicates a catastrophic
failure in the system.
And *malformed* packets? Something is sending NON RADIUS packets to
the RADIUS port. Go fix that.
And "invalid" packets? Something is sending non-accounting packets to
the accounting port.

Radius will hang and start to time out and eventually die. It looks like the
duplicate count gets extremely high very quickly. Could it be the NAS that are
pointing to it? Or could it be my radius configs somehow causing this? I am
not really sure how to prove it out or troubleshoot. I can increase the max
requests but I don't think that is the right solution.
Your RADIUS system is horribly slow, and isn't finishing any requests.
Go fix that. The default configuration *works*.
And your NAS is broken. Something is very, very, wrong in your
network. Find out what it is. Ensure that only RADIUS accounting
packets go to the RADIUS accounting port.
