(RADIATOR) performance on SPARC III?

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Swee-Chuan Khoo -

Nice to hear from you again - hope you are well?

In answer to your question, the configuration you describe below will 
undoubtedly be rate limited by the LDAP server and the accounting 
server.

In any case, I did some tests myself last week on a SUN Enterprise 
250, with Radiator, radpwtst and mysql all running on the same box 
and I got around 90 requests per second. Your target of 150/sec 
sounds achievable, but as I say, you will likely find that your 
limits are imposed by the LDAP server and the accounting server.

When you get some numbers from your testing I would be interested to see them.

BTW - you should run Radiator with the trace -1 option, and radpwtst 
with the -notrace option when doing testing.


best regards

Hugh
