We are using freeRadius and ran a large EAP-TTLS deployment prior to deprecating it in favor of EAP-TLS. We did spread out our authentications across multiple servers on campus so that the load wouldn't swamp our servers. We see around 60k wireless devices a day (max concurrent around 30k), and spread the load across 6 or 7 freeRadius servers.
