Successful deployments of 802.1X (as used in eduroam) mean that large numbers of clients will be using RADIUS authentication methods to get online. Whilst eduroam is just the proxying of RADIUS packets, the system fails if the local authentication service cannot handle the requests sent to it in time (e.g. slow backend authenticator).

If any sections are blank then that is due to no feedback from the community (crowd sourced document)

A few years experience has led to certain wireless options being set on our Cisco Wireless Controllers due to different reasons. Here is a summary of what we have set at the University of Leicester, and why we set them. They are generally valid for other wireless systems as well. Of course, there are likely things we've got wrong or missed out, so feedback is welcome.

I've spent a fair bit of time over the past month trying to improve the reliability of our RADIUS service for eduroam. Previously it was entirely based on Microsoft NPS which has the tendency to silently discard authentication packets which it should really be rejecting. This creates a problem because if the authentication request originated from outside of your network (i.e.
