(RADIATOR) Radiator performance on various platforms.

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Brian -

The largest installation that we are aware of currently runs on multiple SUN 
servers (each with multi-processors and each running two instances of 
Radiator). These servers have a load-balancer in front of them and on the 
backend there is an enterprise class SUN server running Oracle.

This installation has tested throughput up to 1200 radius requests per second.

On any modern hardware you will see throughput in the several hundreds per 
second. However you need to be aware that the performance limitations are 
almost always due to external factors such as the database.

Most of the people on the mailing list seem to use Linux, followed by Solaris 
and *BSD. There are also many smaller installations running Windows and MacOS 
(BTW - MacOS X is *really* nice...).

regards

Hugh
