ISE Transaction Per Second

[demason]

Based on https://community.cisco.com/t5/security-documents/ise-performance-amp-scale/ta-p/3642148

I was wondering in the section related to ISE 2.4 RADIUS performance if these numbers represent the number of authentications per sec for each protocol in total?

For example; can I expect ISE to be able to process 1245 /sec MAB authentications, along with 515 /sec EAP-FAST (MSCHAPv2) authentications, and 315 /sec EAP-TLS Active Directory authentications for a total of 2075 authentications /sec? Also, would that be per PSN node in the deployment?

Those numbers are per PSN with no other services running on the node (i.e. Admin or MnT).  As far as total or aggregated numbers, I would think that the TPS numbers are for that protocol only and not counting if other transactions are happening at the same time.  I doubt they ran a test of all protocols at the same time and counted how much per protocol.  So I would look at those numbers as your best rate assuming you are only doing that type of authentication.
