How to improve Radius Performance

[Tejesh Vijayakumar]

Thanks Gabriel,

You nailed me there.. I tried starting with just "radiusd" and figures showed improvement.
Now I am getting 160 Auths/sec for 1000 users compared to 125 earlier. Is there anything else I could do for improving it more.?


Regards,
Tejesh

That's to run radiusd in debuging mode, you do NOT use that option for production. It starts radius in a single thread explaining why you are having issues.
