thats from 2007!!! 

the RFC draft is now:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-radext-status-server-09

(thats why the old URL in that thread doesnt work...)


you can use radclient to generate a status-server packet...if you server supports
that....the important thing for LVS/loadbalancing is that the system MUST understand
the RADIUS protocol if using EAP - as the requests/responses for a single client
session (all 12 - 14 UDP packets) need to go to the same server that is currently
dealing with the request (to which the State and Proxy-State etc mean something)
