Sorry about the multiple questions. But, I really didnt get what tool to use for the following question :( 4. Are they good for scalability testing or should I look out for other open source wpa supplicants/NASs? I will be grateful if you can answer this again for me please. Thanks again for reading my message. Also, in question #2, what processes are you referring to? please shed some light on this. sorry again. 2. When you say "Just run 5-6 processes at the same time.", can one interface be used to send out multiple simultaneous wpa supplicant requests? If yes, how many wpa client sessions can i generate on 1 interface? Regards, RC. ________________________________ From: Alan DeKok <aland@deployingradius.com> To: FreeRadius users mailing list <freeradius-users@lists.freeradius.org> Sent: Tue, March 2, 2010 5:03:20 PM Subject: Re: Can a wpa_supplicant talk to a Free Radius server without a NAS in between?

Here is my requirement in more detail:
It was pretty clear what you wanted to do.
1. Considering the limitation of the resources, I was thinking about how i can get so many (100,000) wpa supplicant sessions up and running at the same time. Do you have any input on this?
Doing 100K simultaneous sessions is pointless. Your CPU will max out LONG before that. Read raddb/certs/README, the "performance" section.

Go back and read my message again. I didn't say run "wpa supplicant" requests.
3. Can you please tell me how good WPA supplicant and Hostapd fit this test with FreeRadius Server?
I have no idea what that means.
4. Are they good for scalability testing or should I look out for other open source wpa supplicants/NASs?
I already told you which tool to use. Why ask again?
5. Do you know of any other supplicants and AP that might do the work for me or are known to do a better job in scalability tests like this?
