Bug Description
NAV 3.2.2 introduced some caching into IP Device Center to speed up page
loads. Unfortunately, this caching is braindead and broken, and causes
wrong and confusing results for end users.
The cache of port activity results is stored in a global variable in the
devBrowse.module module. Once an Apache child process handles a request to
an IP Device Center page, this cache will be filled with results for the
given device and interval. These results are then re-used for all
subsequent IP Device Center requests in this Apache child process, no
matter which device is browsed or which activity interval is selected.
This may have worked fine in the development environment, where each Apache
child process is configured to only handle one request each and then die,
but not in a production environment.
