ok Alan, i try to explain better... I'm newbie in freeradius. With a lot of debug and test I understand how server works (and I find it great) but i'm struggling to understand and debug problems such as retransmissions, timeouts and similar situations because I can not reproduce them and study them. I've already tested raddebug and now I'll try it with radmin So I would ask if someone had matured some method that could help in this kind of situation... many thank's for your job!!!

I wanted to ask how to monitor an eap session
What does that mean?
in a production environment with a lot of devices. Have you developed a method or a best practice that helps in those cases?
To do what? Please *describe* what you want to do.
Analyzing freeradius debug, in addition to the state attribute, there is some internal variable to see if a package is part of an ongoing session, it's a retransmitted or duplicated packet, or is it the beginning of a new session?
If the request has a State attribute, it's part of an ongoing authentication session, which is usually EAP.
If the request has no State attribute, it's either PAP, or the start of an EAP session.
Duplicate requests are *never* processed through the server.
Alan DeKok.
