<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have configured FreeRadius server with MySQL.I
bombarded the server with Radius Accounting START and STOP msgs randomly with
178461 msgs in 1 minute(~3000 msgs/sec).I got response back of 23658 msgs.I have
noted the UDP msg stats using (netstat -s).They are as below--</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 67137 packets
received</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 0 packets to unknown
port received</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 111680 packet
receive errors</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 23710 packets
sent</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Note that the initial counts were all
0.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>From the stats it seems that --</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>packets received + packet receive errors = ~msgs
sent</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>packets sent = ~response msgs received</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>N.B:- the small anomalies in the counts may be due
to unprocessed msgs in the socket buffers.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In other words though the msg sending rate was
~3000 msgs/sec,the msg processing rate was ~400 msgs/sec.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can you comment on this?We need to process over
3000 msgs/sec.So is FreeRadius with MySQL a right choice?Please
suggest.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks and Regards</FONT></DIV>
