This article describes an issue in which high CPU load occurs on a Windows Server 2012 R2-based server. Before you install this update, see the Prerequisites section.

Symptoms

Assume that a VPN client is connecting to a Routing and Remote Access service (RRAS) server that is behind a network address translation (NAT). When the VPN client loses connection accidentally and then reconnects, the VPN client gets a new IP address, and the previous connection disappears from the network without a complete VPN disconnection. In this situation, NAT keep-alive timer still sends previous keep-alive messages every 20 seconds to keep the NAT mappings active, and the CPU usage of the server becomes high. 

Cause

This issue occurs because NAT keep-alive timer isn't cleaned up when the VPN client gets a new IP address.
