I am wondering for a given platform and OS (such as linux or FreeBSD running on a 2.0Ghz based system with 1-Gig of RAM and fast SCSI hard-drive subsystem) how many transactions can the FreeRadius system handle in a second??? I seems to me you need to establish a "baseline" for what would be considered "too many" requests in order to figure out what would need to be done to allow the system to handle hi-peak loads...
