We were seeing this two, without pattern. As far as we good determine,
there were no performance issues related to the spikes, though.

I don't know, and I really don't think it will resolve the problem.

I'm running ODBC 3.5 with the SQL ODBC 3.7 Driver. Most people get
really confused on ODBC versions. There is the ODBC version itself
(the Manager, etc) and then there is the version for each of the
drivers.

The malformed packet is an option you control in the RadiusNT Admin.
