(RADIATOR) Heavy load radius test

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Sergio -

What we do here is set up Radiator on its own host and run it from  
the command line:

         perl radiusd -foreground -log_stdout -trace -1 - 
config_file .....

This will print out the number of requests being processed once per  
second.

Then on a separate machine run a script which calls radpwtst with  
different username/password combinations.

Note the number of requests per second processed by the Radiator host.

Run additional copies of the script until the number of requests  
being processed by Radiator stops increasing.

Go to another machine and repeat.

Keep going until the number of requests being processed by the  
Radiator host stops increasing.

It is important that you not try to run radpwtst on the same machine  
as Radiator.

There are also both hardware and software radius packet generators  
that you can use - a Google search will help here.

regards

Hugh

NB:

Have you read the reference manual ("doc/ref.html")?
Have you searched the mailing list archive (www.open.com.au/archives/ 
radiator)?
Have you had a quick look on Google (www.google.com)?
Have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
