you'd be offline due do a self caused DDoS, rendering the RADIUS

It's not a DDoS.
sure it is.
Computers are almighty today,
:D
if they can't be pushed to do
their freakin' work they may as well be sniffing your packets all day long
right?
if you feel that this is the case (which is almost for sure in 'western,
democratic, free countries' due to their secret service operations
spying their own people) and are frightened by this, you should really
think about solving this problem by pulling the root of this evil out,
not by cutting single leafs.
join the right party, mobilize people, go on the street, pick up some
forks and torches and get rid of that dictatorship of capitalism
treating mankind like shit -- even and especially in germany (wrt to the
TLD of your email address).
If RADIUS is too slow, start caching, memory is cheap. There is a
lot of solutions and technical solutions around this. And it's this service
that people pay for anyhow.
you pay taxes. so you pay for the firefighters. do you call them every
minute to ask what to do in case there'd be really fire?
this attitude really sucks.
you demand people/organizations to buy an IBM p595 just for running
RADIUS, instead of letting their good ol' Ultra 2 running the next
decade until it falls apart. you're wasting ressources and energy.
You haven't heard of an mp3 concatenate utility
either right?
no, and i certainly never will :)
