Basically:

Retry Count is the maximum number of times that the router retransmits
a RADIUS packet to the RADIUS server. In this case, this has been
increased from 3 times to 10 times.

Timeout is the interval (in seconds) before the router retransmits a
RADIUS packet to the RADIUS server. In this case, this has been
increased from 3 seconds to 10 seconds.

Yes.

Basically, the number of subscribers increased. If we do a maintenance
window where we swing back and forth the traffic to the router, all
the subscribers will hit the router which eventually push all the
RADIUS Requests to the RADIUS server in one shot and on which the
MySQL backend is choked during that time.
