Its depends completely on hardware, thread settings and operating system 
settings, however I expect a fully tuned FR server on any type of decent 
(current) hardware without the extra overhead of SQL etc would handle a few 
hundred thousand Auth requests per second withtout any trouble.
I personally have never managed to put FreeRADIUS itself under load.. (Except 
when I ran it on a 486) I have however managed to blow up a number of backend 
database servers with load generated BY FreeRADIUS!

cheers
