Unfortunately I not update a version because one module what we use was not run correctly in newer versions
That sucks :P If I were you I'd start investing in reeimplementing that module so it's compatible with newer 2.x. Possibly even rewriting it in perl so it can be run with rlm_perl.
If I use Mysql(InnoDB) instead MyISAM, maybe help with table lock and consequently better performance?
When someone ask me that question, usually it's a sign that they know very litlle about database. And my best advice would be "get a dba". The reason is that: - Note that I said GUESS previously. You need to determine whethere it IS in fact the database that's slow. That would require some knowledge about the database being used, including how to find out what is causing the most load. This is a skill that a dba will have. - Innodb and MyISAM have their own strength/weakness, but I've never had a case where JUST changing the storage engine would automagically solve all problem. Storage engine selection and tuning is usually part of the solution, but it's not the ONLY one. In fact, I'd say when it comes to performance, index matters more than storage engine type. Again, this is a skill that a dba will have. - The default queries used by freeradius is fairly simple and straightforward. Thus, the effort/skill required to make it "faster" is pretty much the normal things that a dba would do for a common database. These might include (but not limited to) optimizing index, table definitions, queries, partitioning, clustering, and so on. Again, this is a skill that a dba will have. So my best advice right now is find out if the db is the cause of the slow response (running "top" on the db server would be a good start). If it is, get help from a dba or ask in the db's respective forum/list. If it's not, well, I'd start with running "radiusd -X", simulate with a test auth/acct packet, and see where it's taking the most time. -- Fajar

Hello, i'm using version 1.1.8, my OS is Linux (Gentoo).
The usual response would be "upgrade". 1.x is not supported anymore.

my guess is freeradius is busy handling requests that took a long time. Usually this happens when your backend (e.g. db) takes a long time to process the request, which is quite common if (for example) you record accouting packets in database, and never clean it up so it has millions of rows. Or your db is not properly designed (e.g. not indexed in the right columns). Or you're using custom queries which cause high load to the db.
In any case, I'd start by fixing whatever backend you use first, make sure it can respond in a timely manner.
