I am curious as to the stress-testing of radius. Did you actually
simulate >1000 people logging in *at the exact same time*, or just
people logging more-or-less at random until they totalled 1000?
Regardless of how many total users are logged in to the NAS, radius is
basically idle (that is, either sitting in a select() loop, or blocked
in recv()) unless someone logs in or out (an auth or start/stop accting
packet arrives from the NAS).

Radius is simple enough that there should be very little inherent
performance overhead in any implementation. Your bottleneck will be your
logging functions (e.g. whether you insert into a database, write to
file, etc.) and whatever additional customizations you do yourself.
