There are 2 thread limits that you need to know about. One if the radiusd
thread limit which is in radiusd.conf in:
thread pool {
max_servers = 32
}

The other one is in oraclesql.conf
sql {
num_sql_socks = 5
}

You may need to increase both limits if you have large numbers of radius
requests, however, please remember that a large number of threads will still
not make the system work better if your backend SQL database is slow.
