Optimizing freeradius for very high loads
Good day. I have freeradius running on a Dual P4 server with 4GB Ram. I am using freeradius to service clients. I require performance of 200tps. I am having a problem where many clients do not get responses for authentication messages. Monitoring my cpu and memory load during busy periods, my cpu max utilization is only 10% used, 90%idle. There is also enough memory. How can I optimize freeradius to increase the tps handling capability ?

200tps is quite a low load for FreeRADIUS. A single CPU PII should be able to handle that and still have enough CPU to play MP3 on the side... Are you using a slow database backend? Do you have a high latency network between your NAS and FreeRADIUS? Cheers -- Peter Nixon http://www.peternixon.net/ PGP Key: http://www.peternixon.net/public.asc
