  Why use 3.0.20?  3.0.26 is out, and has a number of fixes.

 We tested FreeRADIUS 10 years ago at 50K packets per second to openldap. If you're only getting 300 packets a second, then the problem is the Perl code you added.

  It's not light weight if it can't handle 300 packets a second.

  I already said what the solution was. Fix the code you added so that it can handle more than 300 packets per second. 

  FreeRADIUS is fine.
