Htin, good point! - the start up time is certainly orthogonal to the two items i listed.
in terms of overall customer service - it certainly does affect customer service if a configuration change and server restarts requires 5 or 10 minutes (exaggerating the figures here). even the time to become responsive after a "kill -HUP" may be more appropriate as this should be more the norm within service providor environments. i will add your item to my list of things to compare... thank you! tariq -----Original Message----- From: Htin Hlaing [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 30 March 2004 17:31 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: performance, stability, benchmarks Tariq, I am also very interested in those two as well, especially with EAP types. I am not sure if this is relevent but I am also interested in start up time? What are the factors which can have impact on the start up initialization time of a FreeRadius server?
