Hi,
I ran eapol_test with reauthentication = 100. It went through fine. Thanks for that.
1. But, since these reauthentications are serial and not parallel,
and even if i run 5-6 eapol_test processes at the same time, there will be only 5-6 parallel sessions at any given time.
2. Since there are no free wpa supplicants that can generate multiple separate sessions at the same time, do you know of any paid tools (non-open source) that might generate about a 100,000 client requests? At this point, i still understand that the Free radius server cant handle those many requests even if there was a way to generate them.
JMeter can do some very clever things in distributed environments. JMeter + Beanshell + eapol_test may be the way to go.
I am just asking this question hoping some one would have had a similar requirement.

My requirement is to test scalability of my Server software that hosts Free Radius Server. I want to see how many wpa supplicant requests it can handle via EAP-TLS.
1. Can a wpa_supplicant talk to a Free Radius server without a NAS in between? I just want to see how many requests my Free Radius server can handle simultaneously. But, is it even possible for the WPA supplicant to talk to the Free radius server without the NAS in between them?
See eapol_test. It's included with wpa_supplicant.
http://deployingradius.com/ for complete instructions on building && using it with EAP.
2. Is there a free wpa supplicant (peer) that generates multiple separate sessions at the same time?
No. Just run 5-6 processes at the same time.
