Stale (dead) PPPoE connections

Using Router OS on x86 platform v6.34.2

I'm observing that after running for some time (few days let's say) I'm having more than 2000 PPPoE connections, 648 of them are running=no which for me is Dead/Stale.

Anyone having same issue and how they can be removed besides Manual removal?

What is the reason for getting such big amount of these Stale connections?

I can manually "Remove" them, but the IP address assigned remains.

Have you tried 6.35r33 ?

What's new in 6.35rc33 (2016-Mar-18 11:12):

*) ppp - fixed crash when ppp interface gets disconnected and user gets authenticated at the same time (most probable with slow RADIUS server);
*) ppp - fixed memory leak high number of pppoe clients to the same server;
*) pppoe - make fast path receive work on tile, arm and x86;
*) pppoe-client - implemented fastpath support;
*) ppp - do not crash when received multiple CBCP packets;
*) pppoe - added rfc4679 support;
*) pppoe-server - added pado-delay option;
*) ppp - close connection if peer wants to re-authenticate;
*) radius - warn radius client if incorrect secret is being used;

Hi,

I have deployed 6.35rc29 few days back as advised by Mikrotik Support team and I can now confirm that it solved the issue.

Hope to see this fixes soon in the Current branch as I don't feel very comfortable running few thousand of users on a RC version :)
