freeradius performance testing with seagull
Hi All! I want test freeradius+mysql accounting interface performance with seagull. My problem - I can't implement valid signature. I always get rad_recv: Accounting-Request packet from host 10.2.170.14 port 65535, id=1, length=48 Received Accounting-Request packet from 10.2.170.14 with invalid signature! (Shared secret is incorrect.) Dropping packet without response. I try next scenario . traffic !-- Start Accouting Request -- send channel=trans-ip-v4 action !-- For each new call, increment the Acct-Session-Id counter -- inc-counter name=session-counter /inc-counter inc-counter name=identifier-counter /inc-counter set-value name=Acct-Session-Id. format=$(session-counter)/set-value set-value name=Identifier. format=$(identifier-counter)/set-value !-- This field must not be use with a true value -- restore-from-external field=0 entity=Authenticator/restore-from-external /action Message name=Accounting-Request setfield name=Authenticator value= /setfield Attribute name=Acct-Session-Id value=value_is_replaced /Attribute !-- 1 stand for Start -- Attribute name=Acct-Status-Type value=1 /Attribute Attribute name=NAS-Identifier value=ims.hpintelco.org /Attribute /Message action store name=ACCT_SES_ID entity=Acct-Session-Id/store start-timer/start-timer /action /send . -- Vladimir Romanov - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Performance testing
Are there any performance statistics available for freeradius? I am using 1.1.5 and mysql 5 and trying do determine if there will be a bottleneck in radius packet processing. The makers of my NAS are saying that this could become an issue and I am just trying to see what type of numbers people believe this solution should handle. Is it 10 transactions / second or 10,000.

The performance numbers depend on your OS, CPU, memory, and database. Generally, any common PC machine will have performance in the 1000's of requests per second, or maybe 100's per second for EAP. i.e. If you have 100,000 users, they can all log in in about 20 minutes... worst-case. Or less than a minute, best-case. The makers of my NAS are saying that this could become an issue and I am just trying to see what type of numbers people believe this solution should handle. Is it 10 transactions / second or 10,000. Which NAS vendor is that? Unless you have 100's of 1000's of users, RADIUS server performance is nearly irrelevant. And if you have 100's of 1000's of users, you have enough money to run 3-4 machines for redundancy load balancing. Most RADIUS servers are loaded at less than 10 packets/s. With that amount of traffic, a 486 with 32M of RAM could probably handle the load.

Thanks in advance murray - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html In general FreeRADIUS will never be the bottleneck unless you are doing things like calling external scripts (instead of using rlm_perl/rlm_python). What you should do is make sure that your database can handle the load (create indexes, enlarge cache size etc). See the testimonials page on http://www.freeradius.org/testimonials.html for actual cases. Don't expect your installation to handle more than a few transactions/sec unless you are handling way too much traffic.As long as your sql dabatase is quick enough you won't have any problems. You can find a few performance tips on a page of my blog at http://kkalev.wordpress.com/2007/03/25/radius-server-performance-tips/ Hope this helps - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Is it 10 transactions / second or 10,000. why not measure the performance yourself? in the doc/ directory there exists a nice document on how to benchmark the server - using the database you have etc etc. its 'performance-testing' you need to read..and tuning_guide can help you to change the resulting figures. alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
