Hi everyone In a near future, I'll be needing to implement a RADIUS forwarding solution for both Authentication and Accounting. My systems responsibility will only be, based on the typology of the request, to forward it to a given remote server, get the response and send it back to the originating client. Nothing else.
I'm assuming this will be piece of cake for my server, but I still need to make up numbers and estimate how many requests will I be able to handle without impact on the platform. I know RADIUS forwarding is tricky because I'm depending on the other server response time, but does anyone has a good estimate of how many requests can a 2010 grade enterprise server (Tipically 2 x Six Core Xeon 2.4Ghx 12MB L3 cache + 128GB memory + multiple GbE) handle? If any of you has any benchmarks, even with different hardware or different authentication/accounting methods (AuthByFile, AuthByInternal, etc), would you be kind enough to share some?
