It's not claimed that high permormance is unique to FreeRADIUS. It's claimed that FreeRADIUS *is* a high-performance server, and that it's often faster than other servers. There may be another server as high-performance as FreeRADIUS. > is it from its use of threads? That's one. > it it from its use C as opposed to perl (radiator)? That makes a big difference. > does it compile using OS specific accelerations (kqueue, for example) No. The general reasons why it's high performance are that it's designed properly. Since it's a Free Software project, it's designed and written to be independent of any corporate/management/marketing fads. Features go in because they make engineering sense, not because they add another check-box on a marketing slide. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
