Hello Misbah,

We only an issue with chunk = ‘8192’ for EAP TLS and not EAP PEAP.

I way too big to cover your entire cluster config on the mailing list, I will 
suggest you to take some consulting hours with Akamai and we will do a sanity 
check on your cluster to see why the database would disconnect.

Thanks,

Ludovic Zammit
