Some of these criteria are: client-server architecture, scalability, failover, data integrity. The RFC2989, which is the standard for evaluating AAA protocols, sets a number of criteria to qualify a protocol as an AAA type protocol. RADIUS is one of the most common AAA protocols, together with Diameter and TACACS+. It uses UDP as its transport mechanism and is supported by numerous commercial devices for remote access. RADIUS provides centralized authentication, authorization and accounting management for large numbers of users who are connected to various network services.

We will show how to perform the RADIUS Server testing using Apache JMeter™ and provide examples of possible JMeter scripts. In this article we are going to describe the approaches to load testing systems that use the RADIUS protocol. The test RADIUS server protocol services heavy loads of concurrent users. RADIUS is a client / server application level protocol that supports the AAA (authentication, authorization and accounting) framework, which is a framework for granting access to resources and controlling the utilization of those resources. What is RADIUS server? And how you test RADIUS server? Find out in this blog!
