if you want to test what happen under network problem scenarios you
can try netem or nistnet

http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/Net:Netem
http://snad.ncsl.nist.gov/nistnet/

there are a couple of scripts supplied with the server to allow
benchmarking which hit the server fast and hard. run a couple
of those whilst eg flood pinging the system.  but 'any condition'
is hardly any kind of scientific or useful phrase. for example,
is the system working well if half the packets get lost? does
the system work well if packets are routed in different directions?
does the system work well when an idiot logs into the box and runs
other random processes that take up CPU time (nice bit of SETI or
D2OL etc)?  quantify the scenarios before you can demonstrate behaviour.
useful exercise as you might uncover some wierd corner case to
help improve the server (I've found several Linux kernel issues
over the years on very stressed servers)

me to do stress test on the radius server to make sure that the system is still 
working well in any condition..

i still confused how to perform the stress test...anyone help me please..thank
