Hy all,
I would like to know where I can find information about the performance features of the FreeRadius product. I would like to propose my boss tu use this product because I have been testing it with differents configurations and it is a very good product (congratulations!). But I need that information first.
Thank you very much in advance, Marta Lajas
I use it for an ISP for authenticating users to dial, dial-isdn, adsl service-selection, wifi, vpn, ftp (homepages), dial accelerator and nntp. We have 3 radius servers to handle the load and average about 80,000 logins per day out of a few hundred thousand users. We use an ldap backend for authentication and mysql for accounting. The machines are freebsd 5.4 hw.machine: i386 hw.model: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.80GHz hw.ncpu: 2 hw.physmem: 1064525824 hw.usermem: 962187264 hw.realmem: 1073479680 They are basically sitting there idle since we've put them in. The traffic isn't enough to push it. # uptime 11:48AM up 98 days, 13:04, 1 user, load averages: 0.03, 0.01, 0.00 I hope I don't jinx myself, but we've never had an outage with freeradius. Using configurable_failover inside freeradius we didn't even notice a burp when one of our ldap servers's motherboard choked and the machine went down hard. Freeradius just kindly switched over to another ldap server. Using radrelay for pushing accounting to our mysql servers, makes the uptime on that sql machine less important, even though it never seems to have issues. I know that's not an "official" number, but perhaps it could help. -Dusty Doris
