RBS960 satellite memory creep again
Just started - noticed it early this morning. As it shows, it's been up for over 3 weeks. It will be interesting to see if it stops or if it ends up restarting or losing its connection via backhaul. ...

Does the RBS exhibit the same thing or different.
Keep monitoring and see if this one RBS fails.
Wondering if you swapped RBS around if the problem would follow.
FW v.31?

The system has been stable for over 22 days with minor increases in memory usage and consistent CPU usage.

Here's my latest update on "memory creep" --
1st floor RBS is up to 604MB now; most I have ever seen is the router at around 660MB max. I am really curious to see what will happen. AND - NEW NEWS - the other RBS started creeping yesterday. It was around 388MB for a long time, now it's up to 444MB. Both will be up 24 days in a few hours!
The odd thing is the CPU on the RBSs - one is 5.8%, the other 6.2%. They are pretty idle yet memory usage grows.
Everything else is good - RBR stable CPU/mem, no disconnects or restarts, IPv6 fine, modem signals/errors etc clean.I'll post again when one or both RBSs' memory creeping is resolved - at some point they will either stabilize on their memory creep or be forced to auto restart I think!

Update - My one RBS is up to 620MB, the other up to 460. I bet something happens to the one RBS in the next 24 hours. If it's bad (restart loss of backhaul etc.) I'll update my support ticket along with an explanation of what finally happened. If it just stabilizes, well then we don't honestly know if it's a bug or not.

So RBS units stabilize if ethernet is disconnected? Then creeps again with Ethernet connected?
