Im working on a project at my school district to implement RADIUS authentication. I have two Mac powerpc servers for use, which could run either OSX or some linux variant. We are planning on using a mysql backend. Our network has around 6k machines throughout the district, a few hundred on the wifi at any given time. so my questions are:
That is a very small number of systems. A 386 would probably be sufficient to handle the RADIUS traffic.
As long those machines do not start at the same time and switches do not process periodically reauthentication (for example every 60s). ~100 req/s for a 386 may be too much. Best regards, Krzysztof Olędzki
