[RADIATOR] Performance logging

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Alex -

It depends on what you are looking at.

EAP involves multiple RADIUS messages to and from the end user device and Radiator.

If you are looking at the overall response time from the initial RADIUS Access-Request, through all of the EAP back and forth, to the ultimate Access-Accept, there really is nothing you can do.

If on the other hand you are looking only at the inner EAP request and the associated authentication process, as Tuure says, any delays are likely to be backend lookups.

regards

Hugh
