■
type that were received from this server on the authentication port.

Access Requests – The number of RADIUS Access-Request
■
packets sent to this server. This does not include retransmissions.
Access Retransmissions – The number of RADIUS Access-
■
Request packets retransmitted to this RADIUS authentication
server.
Pending Requests – The number of RADIUS Access-Request
■
packets destined for the server that have not yet timed out or
received a response. This variable is incremented when an Access-
Request is sent and decremented due to receipt of an Access-
Accept, Access-Reject, Access-Challenge, timeout, or
retransmission.
Timeouts – The number of authentication timeouts to the server.

After a timeout, the client may retry to the same server, send to a
different server, or give up. A retry to the same server is counted as
a retransmit as well as a timeout. A send to a different server is
counted as a Request as well as a timeout.
