Re: Freradius and 802.1x

[Artur Hecker]

not only. if i'm not completely mistaken, if they are really authenticating _at the same time_, you have 256 users per link (8bit field in EAP for ID). and i have no idea how freeradius eap module treats the requests internally (if it makes the difference between the eap packets coming from different radius-clients or not, etc.) i presume though that it is intelligent enough :-)

responding to the original question of Daniele: i think it's much more a question of AP/802.1x than of radius or in particular freeradius, meaning that, curiously, the server won't be a bottleneck.

  That depends on the CPU power of the machine running FreeRADIUS.
