[PATCHES] Enable faster proxy response on low-latency links - Plain Text version

Hello development team,

I have been asked to present the following proposals and
associated patches.  I know that the basic ideas have
been brought up before, but we hope that you will give 
some further consideration.


These patches add support for several options allowing configuration
of reduced proxy response times on low-latency links.  They are being
submitted so that we can migrate from our current platform to
FreeRADIUS.

Due to SLAs with our Tier-1 Carriers, we require support for a higher
precision response window and a reduced initial request transmission
delay to be able to configure sub-second proxy response times.

We need to override response window for some Tier-1 carrier clients so the
proxy server fails over to next home server faster to satisfy required
response times of their tighter SLAs.

Sometimes a given sgsn has a very short-lived response time problem which
doesn't deserve putting the home server into the zombie mode, so we'd like
to configure tolerance to a certain amount of response window misses, which
"max_response_timeouts" allows us to do.


Thanks for your consideration,

Jon Sexson
