Research direction

Start by tracing how repeater requests record and select the return path, then compare that with the path used for replies. The issue names no files or tests, so locate the repeater routing code and any tests covering reply paths. Done means a repeater replies on the path the request arrived on, with a test showing this when another route is available.

Description

Why does a repeater reply back on another path ?.

I see very offen, that if i connect to one of my repeaters via path AAAA,BBBB,CCCC it reply's back on a completely different path.
Sometimes it replay back on a path, that don´t reach me (i can see that in core scope).

Please make the repeater allways reply back on the path the request came from.
