RE: Fw: Performance features of FreeRadius
Hy Alan, I am interested in the following statement:
And unless you have a million users, performance of the server isn't really an issue. FreeRADIUS can handle multiple hundreds of thousands of users on a commodity PC without any problems.
Why a million of users? Which are the problems that may appear? Are you refering to a million of users simultaneously connected to the FR server?

As in how well it performs? That depends on your system and database.
The short answer is that FreeRADIUS will always be faster than the database you use to store user configuration.

For one, you probably don't want to run only one server. If you have 100 users and your RADIUS machine dies, it's not a big deal. If you have a million users, it's much more of a problem. Also, at a million or so users, the load may get significant enough that you could need another machine.

No. RADIUS doesn't work like that. Users do *not* connect to the server. Ever. Alan DeKok.
