Name

max_requests

Synopsis

This directive specifies the maximum number of requests FreeRADIUS will keep tabs on during operation. The value starts at 256 and scales with no upper limit, and ideally this is set at the number of RADIUS clients you have multiplied by 256. Setting this value too high causes the server to eat up more system memory, while setting it too low causes a delay in processing new requests once this threshold has been met. New requests must wait for the cleanup delay period to finish before they can be serviced.

Usage:

max_requests = [value]

Suggestion:

max_requests = [256 * x number of clients]
