The RADIUS requests should be queued by the client for reliable
delivery. Even if RadiusNT is flooded with stop requests, they should
eventually be re-sent by the client.
What is your typical repsonse time you see in -x15 deug mode when
RadiusNT is minimized (yeah, sorta a catch 22, but the video overhead
when its maximized is much greater than that RadiusNT's response time
itself).
