Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
You have a Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3-based device and a network that is running the following servers:
- A Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) server.
- A virtual private network (VPN) server. For example, a server that is running Windows Server 2008.
You configure both a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) connection and a VPN connection by using the Network and Dial-up Connections option on your device.
You connect your device to the PPPoE server and then to the VPN server.
Many malformed commands or packets are sent to the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) port of your device such as by using the HPING3 command from the PPPoE server.
You disconnect your device from the VPN server.
In this scenario, your device may experience high CPU usage when the VPN connection is closed.
