While controlling tonight, I was getting mass batches of flight strips pushed to me by the neighboring CTR controller from well beyond ranges either of us should’ve been able to see. I did a little digging through VATSPY and realized that the strips populating were roughly around the time that pilots were connecting to the network in their respective locations.
I don’t believe this was a controller issue, seems to have been some sort of client bug? I unfortunately don’t have any more information to provide at this time.
