I’ve had 10 multi core boxes hammering one server, still not enough .. You need more clients .. ;) RADIUS as such requires very little from the server side in terms of CPU. All it really does is compare x with y and then respond yes or no, once you strip down all the various variants of auth protocols. That’s not a high requirement. I’m confident if you use a SSL enabled protocol, your CPU on the server is spending more time per request doing the necessary SSL stuff than RADIUS related work ..<BR>

A pint of unspecified beverage says you’ll need more client CPU .. I’ll agree with the pint ..<BR>

Re: performance report? </SPAN></FONT><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>It is not likely your actually putting too much strain on the server side. You’ll need quite a lot of machines hammering the RADIUS server before it’ll break into a sweat. The client side would have higher CPU utilization then the server side, per request.<BR>

Comparing one program to another is not exactly comparing apples with apples. It’s more like comparing a duck with a fork lift. One flies, the other just doesn’t (or rather, when it does, you don’t want to be there to see it) ...<BR>

Just noticed that radius cannot reach more than 20% CPU time when we ran a heavy traffic with nas simulations. We have tested some other programs and could reach even more than 90% so just curious anybody experienced the similar result.<BR>
