The co-mutual pressure of the campus network certification management system is highly regular: while the number of online users is normally stable, the opening season, selection courses, class four or six, examination week are suddenly peaked and requests for accreditation are concentrated on short notice. If the system fails to hold the peak, there will be a massive breakout, overtime certification, login failure that directly affects teaching and teacher experience. This talk about how campus certification systems can guarantee convergence and stability at peak times.

Design capacity by peak, not average

The capacity planning for campus certification systems must be measured on a peak scenario, not just an average number of online numbers. To estimate the volume of simultaneous requests for certification at peak hours, the number of simultaneous online terminals and the processing capacity of Radius and Portal services, the university user base is large, is tens or thousands of parallels, the node for authentication is set aside enough processing capability, and consideration can be given to horizontal expansion."Daily Load""High school term""Extreme events"The slotting measure corresponds to different resource inputs, avoiding either over-building or peaking.

Load balance and clustering: spreading pressure

Single machines are strong and capped, with multiple campuses and large campuses recommending that the certification service be carried in a load-balanced grouping. Multiple Radius nodes automatically switch to other nodes by sharing their requests for authentication on load-balanced balance, increasing processing capacity and making them more usable.

Authentication chain optimization: press down time

The high-rise experience is not a lot of problems."I can't hold on."But..."It's slowing down.". Every jump delay on the authentication request chain is magnified: Radius query database, account check, log writing, Portal page loading and connection to a unified identity platform, any slowness in the process will drag the whole. Optimize the authentication link when implemented, such as database query indexing, account data caches, log stride writing, Portal page staticisation, keeping the certification time extension at peaks within acceptable limits and avoiding further stress-commending during peak periods by running large overtime tests.

Pre-earing and surveillance: pre-peak drill, high-level watch

Large nodes are pre-defined and can be prepared well in advance. Before the start of school year or school day, network centres should conduct a stress test to confirm the system’s performance at the expected peak, extending or optimizing it ahead of time; and prepare contingency plans to identify what is guaranteed first and later when an authentication occurs, such as prioritizing certification of teaching areas.

Recupancy after the fact: turning each peak into an optimised opportunity

After each excessive wave, it is recommended that a remix be made to collate the authentication data during peak periods, warning records, and user complaints to see which links are bottlenecks and which strategies are adjusted. For example, whether there is an uneven distribution of traffic at a node, the failure rate of one mode of certification, and the simultaneous over-expectedness of some period. The results of the remix result are converted into volume adjustments and configuration optimizations, so that the next peak can be more comfortable.
