Hello development team,

I have been asked to present the following proposals and

associated patches. I know that the basic ideas have

been brought up before, but we hope that you will give

some further consideration.

These patches add support for several options allowing configuration

of reduced proxy response times on low-latency links. They are being

submitted so that we can migrate from our current platform to

FreeRADIUS.

Due to SLAs with our Tier-1 Carriers, we require support for a higher

precision response window and a reduced initial request transmission

delay to be able to configure sub-second proxy response times.

We need to override response window for some Tier-1 carrier clients so the

proxy server fails over to next home server faster to satisfy required

response times of their tighter SLAs.

Sometimes a given sgsn has a very short-lived response time problem which

doesn't deserve putting the home server into the zombie mode, so we'd like

to configure tolerance to a certain amount of response window misses, which

"max_response_timeouts" allows us to do.

Thanks for your consideration,

Jon Sexson
