Hi Alan,

I regret for the late reply.
Yes. I am running the server in single threaded mode. Will it be an overhead
for taking more time?
I verified the same by running in different high speed machine. It looks
pretty okay. It took arround 150ms. So i am okay with this performance.

But one more issue i am facing is when i try to connect 3 clients per second
for 30 minutes with freeradius-1.1.6 only 200 or 250 clients are getting
connected ( means 67 to 83 seconds the authentication happened) after that
the clients are not getting connected, not seeing any Access-Accept going to
the NAS.

If I connect  2  clients per second then all the clients ( 2 per second for
30 minutes ) are getting connected.

Please let me know what could be the reason for this? The log file is very
huge.. if you could  not figure out the issue with the above statistic it
will send the log to the group.

Thank you so much for all your help.
Regards,
Nikitha
