I still do ... I¹ve had 10 multi core boxes hammering one server, still not enough .. You need more clients .. ;) RADIUS as such requires very little from the server side in terms of CPU. All it really does is compare x with y and then respond yes or no, once you strip down all the various variants of auth protocols. That¹s not a high requirement. I¹m confident if you use a SSL enabled protocol, your CPU on the server is spending more time per request doing the necessary SSL stuff than RADIUS related work ..
A pint of unspecified beverage says you¹ll need more client CPU .. I¹ll agree with the pint .. //anders On 20/08/2008 20:45, "Kevin J" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Well, that's why I am saying we used the nas simulation tool.
