</div>Like that one. That particular status check was completed immediately.<br>
How were other status check responses, do they arrive on time? How<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>"on time" is subjective, but every status-check I saw came back within the same second. the log has no finer granularity.<br>
<br>I would not be surprised if this is a case of "happy" replies are instant, but anything with a problem is lagging. status-check is a known-good condition (at least the user/pass) so it always succeeds, and is always fast.<br>

This is a live radius proxy for a small ISP, not just a console auth-server, so we're seeing anything up to ten requests per second - not lots-n-lots, but also not practical to eyeball the entire thing in realtime. Spot-checks are fine, but if nothing broke while you were checking then it's "tree falls in a forest" time. <br>
