When lots of concurrent auth packets arrived at radius server .by
default ,if radius server exceeds the max packet process thread ,it
will discard the auth packet/<br>
see the code below in version 1.0.5<br>
<br clear="all">int thread_pool_addrequest(REQUEST *request, RAD_REQUEST_FUNP fun)<br>
{<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; /*<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If the thread pool is busy handling requests, then<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; try to spawn another one.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;*/<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (thread_pool.active_threads == thread_pool.total_threads) {<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (spawn_thread(request-&gt;timestamp) == NULL) {<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; radlog(L_INFO,<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;The maximum number of threads
(%d) are active, cannot spawn new thread to handle request&quot;,<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; thread_pool.max_threads);<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; return 0;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; /*<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Add the new request to the queue.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;*/<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; request_enqueue(request, fun);<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; return 1;<br>
}<br>
<br>
why not just add the auth packet to the queue of the thread if the active thread number exceed the total thread number?<br>
