The test runs for 30 sec. The auth rate was 9 auth/sec. The same test when ran against Microsoft AAA server gives 25 auth/sec.
On the same machine? Or on completely different hardware?
With Freeradius, out of 450 attempted authentications, 209 was successful and 241 was failed.
Do you know *why* they failed? That question might be interesting to answer.
For single client the authentication time is around 110 ms. Is this the expected number?
Since you haven't said *anything* about your system, I have no idea.
From the mailing list, it seems 150 msec is what has been observed. The RSA key generation on the server is offloaded to the hardware. Without it the auth rate was only 3 auth/sec.
Well... your CPU is really not powerful enough to do RSA. Don't blame FreeRADIUS.
I have tried various suggestion put forward in the mailing list including radius file access during authentication by moving file section from authorize section to authenticate section etc., but not much improvement.
RSA calculations are CPU bound. No amount of playing games with file access will increase the CPU power of the machine.
I also see something similar query raised, but did not find any satisfactory reply.
