[Kea-users] Dropping the packets in load balancing

Hi Kraishak 
In addition to Darren's excellent suggestion to enable debug logging, you 
write that the number of "max-unacked-clients" reached 14 during your testing. 
I wonder if this could be because Kea was waiting for the next "ha-heartbeat" 
before transitioning. 

Could you retry your test and wait until the next failed "ha-heartbeat" command? 

There is an open Kea GitLab issue that describes this situation. 
"partner-down state transition when max-unacked-clients reached" 
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/kea/-/issues/2592 

Also, check that your testing software correctly updates the "secs" field in 
retries. 

Kind Regards Peter
