<div dir="ltr">thanks alan<div style>Actually I am using load balancing for rapid authentication of users. let suppose i have one prosy server that is proxying incoming requests to these five servers.

<div style>I have changed 'max_requests' in radiusd.config. And also remove unnecessary processing on radius server (that is proxying requests). Now tell me what else can I do?? :(</div><div style><br></div><div style>
Though i am a new bee in RADIUS, but I think Proxy server is the bottle neck???</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 12, 2013 at 1:44 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:A.L.M.Buxey@lboro.ac.uk" target="_blank">A.L.M.Buxey@lboro.ac.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>you only asked this question less than 2 hours ago.....<br>
<br>
okay, you need to see why the proxy is causing a x3 factor in slowdown? run the servers<br>
in full debug mode with timestamps and check to see where your delay is....dont throw<br>
10 million requests at it though, just a dozen should be enought in the first instance<br>
to see where the hit is. I'd assume that you havent made any configuration changes<br>
or tweaked any configs...in which case your proxy box is probably not ready to be dealing with<br>
that many in transit requests (whereas the authentication servers can handle multiple<br>
requests per thread) - so, some basic tweaking will probably do something....<br>
<br>
..though I think you've already found that you dont need to load-balance ;-)<br>
