Subject:Load Balancing
Hi,
We are using Ericsson GSN, the primary and secondary failover timer in
GSN is restricted to merely 6 seconds. After these 6 secs, it drops the
call.
So our radiator server need to respond very fast, I mean fast in doing
username/password authentication, accounting logging, ip address
allocation and forward accounting information to 3rd party business
partners and reply back to GSN at last. If we divide 6 secs into 2
halves, there will be only 3 secs for primary radius, and 3 secs for
secondary radius.
Our first question is it possible to change the behaviour (perhaps an
extra parameter) of AuthBy ROUNDROBIN, VOLUMEBALANCE, LOADBALANCE so
that when radius proxy does not receive response from the first radius
server, then just stop it and let the radius server marked failure and
reply nothing to GSN. Let the radius server sit still until
FailureBackupoffTime is reached. Do not even try to forward request to
the second listed, until the list is exhausted.
Second can we set the timeout value (perhaps to zero) for the very first
accounting forward packet. The RetryTimeout only suitable for
retransmitting packet. Lost accounting packet is not a concern to us, as
long as the radius server work very fast.
We tried optimize every things such as using radius proxy to distribute
loading to several radius server, put database server in another unix
box, field indexing, lots of memory and etc. Maybe our question is a bit
strange. Perhaps someone can suggest us a workaround. Thanks.
Regards,
Harrison
