Hi Stefan,

The experience I had in the past was that an the kernel of an
overloaded Linux server will drop UTP packages before Radiator has any
chance to see them. This happened when a CPU reached +80% cpu usage.
In order to be able to scale horizontally, I think RADIUS proxying is
the way to go (HW like Netscaler or a Radiator on front doing async
requests),

Regards,

C.
