I've tried a lot of different values and looked at the radius packets coming 
from our switches (for wired dot1x):
peap 1350, inner tls 1300
peap 1400, inner tls 1360
peap 1412, inner tls 1350

In the end I've used 1350/1300 because increasing it any further towards the 
limit didn't lower the number of packets so I preferred to have a little bit of 
safety margin left.

The EAP packet that is encapsulated inside one of the radius key/value pairs + 
all other radius attributes doesn't exceed one ethernet frame because EAP 
doesn't support fragmentation.
Depending on the number of other radius attributes your switches or wlan 
controllers send to the radius servers you can increase the EAP payload.
Decreasing the number of packets reduces the authentication time and lowers to 
load on both the radius client (switch, wlan controller) and radius server.

@Open guys: can you please add something like my description to the docs?

Hi,

For a long time I've had

=====
# EAPTLS_MaxFragmentSize sets the maximum TLS fragemt
# size that will be replied by Radiator. It must be small
# enough to fit in a single Radius request (ie less than 4096)
# and still leave enough space for other attributes
# Aironet APs seem to need a smaller MaxFragmentSize izes.
               EAPTLS_MaxFragmentSize 1000

==========

Set up in my Radiator radius.cfg file simply because it was there in the sample 
radius.cfg file I initially used. I'm now wondering if perhaps this is a bit 
small.

What are other people doing?
Is anyone explicitly setting this up or are people leaving it to the default 
value
