[RADIATOR] Rate limiting support.

[Patrick Renkens]

Hi,

I know there have been a few discussions in the past about 'rate 
limiting RADIUS requests', but as far as I know there is no option for 
this within Radiator (4.2)?

The situation for which I would like something like rate limiting is 
mainly a radius to radius (proxy) setup. The main reason for wanting a 
rate limiting possibility is the fact that every now and then, a bad 
configured client or RADIUS-server, is sending out such an amount of 
RADIUS-requests to our proxies that other users might suffer from it.
At least our RADIUS-probes from a monitoring system tend to fail 
(timeout) because of such a situation (and I get a phonecall in the 
middle of the night).
In a situation like this I would like to limit the requests for this 
particular client (remote RADIUS server) to ensure proper service for 
the other users. Completely disabling the client is maybe too much, 
because they still send valid request from correctly configured clients.
I cannot use the parameter DupInterval because the requests have 
different RADIUS Identifiers.

So, is there a way for rate limiting RADIUS requests?


Kind regards,
Patrick Renkens
