Does anyone know of any good RADIUS scalability testing tools? The specific goal is to test the scalability (ability to process a large number of auth requests) of the authentication system and specifically look at the scalability of RADIUS and Beacon.

There appear to be a number of free test-tool options out there.
As a start, from http://freeradius.org/features/fast.html (the horse's mouth, so to speak):
"The best way to determine the performance of a server is via testing. FreeRADIUS comes with a tool called radclient, which can be used for basic peformance testing. A third party tool called RadPerf is also available. It uses the FreeRADIUS libraries to implement the RADIUS portion, and then builds more complex functionality on top of that. It can be used to simulate user logins, and can auto-generate accounting packets for user sessions. "
The referenced tool is at http://networkradius.com/radperf.html

One other tool that is designed to be used for RADIUS testing is the Radlogin v4 (RADIUS Test Client), which is part of the RadiusNT product by IEA Software.
This test client is a free, graphically interactive (via web based GUI) that acts as a test client for RADIUS systems and has the ability to send RADIUS Authentication and Accounting messages at a high rate of speed through iterations of up to 1,000,000 requests per run.

I've had some pretty good results with Radius Test for Windows version 2.4 (http://www.radutils.com/). I've queued up as many as 9,999 authentication requests at once. You can also schedule the quantity and interval that you would like them sent.
