Greetings everyone,
I previously had a post concerning authenticate over 2 million+ mobile
subscriber users on FreeRadius. We did performance testing yet, failed
but due to pressure from client we went a head with the migration. The
migration failed at this point, since the Radius Server could not hand
out more than 25 IP addresses per second. Obviously this was due to slow
database server / resources. FreeRadius was happy to hand out logins
once the pool assignment was done on the GGSN.
So I am wondering, I found a solution to the problem and we are now
handing out IP addresses easily.. 5000+ accept-accept responses per
second with framedipaddress included from a pool within SQL.
Quad Zeon, 4 core, 8 threads, 16gig ram runnning Ubuntu Linux. Is it
possible to hand out that many ip addresses per second? :) The box is
also running both the radiusd and mysql process using a standard storage
engine. Not using NDB or anything special. Is this really an impossible
task? Maybe I can find out from our company if I may release the code we
using to make this work.
I would really like to help improve the SQLIPPool module. Since the
version we were using could only do 25/s now we are over 5000/s.
