I am evaluating freeradius with jradius. Currently i am performing performance testing for the Freeradius-Jradius combination using radperf tool. JRadius is simply authenticating the user from the jradius-config.xml file using one of the default handlers, so nothing fancy there. Here are a few numbers that i get.
Standalone Freeradius ... 500 requests/sec gives me 461
Hmm... that seems a little slow. What kind of tests are you running? Authentication? Accounting?
Freeradius with JRadius ( Standard 8 connections in the configuration)
500 requests/sec gives me 60
That's likely due to the large overhead of sending data back && forth to the JVM.
Has anybody run into this issue? Is there a way around to getting the performance numbers higher?
Try using radperf with "-p 500" rather than "-n 500". That will measure the maximum packet rate that the server can handle. Alan DeKok.
