Gurus,
I'm not sure, how
performant a Freeradius can be build up.
Would it be
possible, to set up a system, which is able to support a peak load of 500+
Access Requests/s for a time frame of about 15 s?
As my users are
stored in an LDAP directory (which does support about 1000 queries/s
peak) the requested configuration must lookup the user there.
Also, the system
must be able to assign the IP addresses for the users.
I will have to build
a database, to store all RADIUS sessions to be able to retrieve for actual and
past sessions.
As of my knowledge,
the main performance issues are the Database, the IP address assignment and the
online database replication (for fault tolerance reasons).
Is there anybody,
who has build a system like that? What kind of HW do I need (wee will need
99.9999% system reliability)
BTW: somebody in my company told me, it
would all fit in a 'pizza box' ... which should mean a small SUN System.... How
far is he away from the reality, beside the fact, that this would not meet our
fault tolerance requirement?
rg.
Stefan
