.SH NAME
radclient - send packets to a RADIUS server, show reply
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IP \-i\ \fIid\fP
Use \fIid\fP as the RADIUS request Id.
.IP \-n\ \fInum_requests_per_second\fP
-Send \fInum_requests_per_second\fP, evenly spaced over time. By
-default, the requests are sent as fast as possible. This option
+Try to send \fInum_requests_per_second\fP, evenly spaced. This option
allows you to slow down the rate at which radclient sends requests.
+When not using -n, the default is to send packets as quickly as
+possible, with no inter-packet delays.
+
+Due to limitations in radclient, this option does not accurately send
+the requested number of packets per second.
.IP \-p\ \fInum_requests_in_parallel\fP
Send \fInum_requests_in_parallel\fP, without waiting for a response
for each one. By default, radclient sends the first request it has
requests at simultaneously. Once \fInum_requests_in_parallel\fP are
sent, radclient waits for all of the responses to arrive (or for the
requests to time out), before sending any more packets.
+
+This option permits you to discover the maximum load accepted by a
+RADIUS server.
.IP \-q
Go to quiet mode, and do not print out anything.
.IP \-r\ \fInum_retries\fP
