start_servers = 20
max_servers = 400
min_spare_servers = 30
max_spare_servers = 60
I would suggest setting:
start_servers = 400
max_servers = 400
min_spare_servers = 0
max_spare_servers = 400
If the server doesn't start with those parameters, it's because your
OS doesn't let you start that many threads. In that case, go fix
the OS.
i need 10,000 per second
I doubt that very much. That's a billion packets per day. Or, it's
500K users logged in all of the time, each of whom is online for
only 10
minutes.
There are large ISP's with 10+ million users who see only hundreds of
requests per second. You're talking about 100 times that, which is
very
unusual.
Please explain why you need such a HUGE number of requests. It may
help solve the problem you're seeing. Do you have a billion users in
your ISP? Or do you have fewer users than that? How many users do you
expect to see online at once? How many minutes are they online for
at a
time?
Also, most databases can't handle 10k writes per second, (some can't
handle 10k *reads* per second). So it's very doubtful that you'll be
able to do anything with 10k packets/s, even if the RADIUS server
itself
can handle them.
I'm not aware of a single RADIUS installation on the planet that
needs
10K packets per second. And even the ones that handle hundreds to
thousands of packets per second split those packets among multiple
machines. i.e. If you have a 10M users in your ISP, you can't
afford to
have everyone go offline because your ONLY RADIUS server died. You
will
need 4-5 RADIUS servers for service stability, at least.
The result is that any one RADIUS machine will normally NEVER handle
more than a few hundred packets per second. If you need more than
that,
your network is designed wrong.
