Thanks Alan, We are using SQL for authentication and accounting - do you think this could be the issue? I could potentially have thousands of requests coming in almost simultaneously, is this going to be too much for the process to handle?

'The maximum number of threads (32) are active, cannot spawn new thread to handle request'
FreeRADIUS is getting many many requests but cannot handle them in real time - usually due to the authentication or accounting being too slow - you use SQL or AD for authentication? SQL for accounting?
Also, do people know what is the maximum simultaneous incoming authentication calls that the radius process can handle? Or what ways can be adopted to deal with this?
