FreeRADIUS -- Performance
http://freeradius.org/features/fast.html
Version 3.0.11. Version 2.2.9. When all configuration and policies are stored in RAM, the server is capable of performing 10's of 1000's of PAP authentications per second on commodity hardware. Specific performance capabilities depend on a number of factors, including:. Database usage (flat-text files, LDAP, SQL). RAM, CPU, disk, network speed and latencies. Use of EAP (SSL has significant CPU overhead). Which can be used for basic peformance testing. A third party tool called RadPerf. Is also available&...

FreeRADIUS -- getting the code
http://freeradius.org/enterprise-wifi.html
Version 3.0.11. Version 2.2.9. Enterprise Wi-Fi / IEEE 802.1X. Deficiencies of PSK networks. Common home-use Wi-Fi networks do not need a RADIUS server because they "secure" the network with one single network key. The "WPA/WPA2 Pre-Shared Key" (PSK). That key is the same for every user, is often guessable, and can't be revoked for one user. To guess the key. All this makes PSK networks unfit for enterprise use. IEEE 802.1X and RADIUS Authentication. Enterprise Wi-Fi authentication also enables advanced ...

FreeRADIUS -- Survey Results
http://freeradius.org/press/survey.html
Version 3.0.11. Version 2.2.9. We recently commissioned a survey of FreeRADIUS users, in order to see how people are using the server. The survey was commissioned because RADIUS servers are usally hidden inside of private networks (for very good reasons), and are not publicly accessibly like HTTP or DNS servers. That is, Apache. Can say that it is the number one HTTP server in the Internet because of public results from Netcraft. Number of Users authenticated via FreeRADIUS. The rest of the users are spl...
