The way the Class attrib is described in the RADIUS RFC suggests such use of it. The IETF roamops working group, however, has a draft with guidelines for RADIUS proxying in roaming conditions, and in that draft they propose a completely different use for the Class attribute (something to do with a RADIUS server session ID), which is useless IMO. >I have been told that the radius class attribute is not used by most radius servers. Has anyone used the radius class attribute (25) to inform the accounting process of the type of service delivered to the user? > >I have been told that this attribute is under consideration for redefinition by an IETF working group. > >It seems that the class attribute is a very effective mechanism to make service level information known outside the radius authentication server. > > >Ken Packert >Network Management Division >Ascend Communications > >++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ >To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request@bungi.com >To get FAQ'd: <<A HREF="http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq">http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq</A>> Marc De Vries S/W Dev Eng Alcatel Belgium ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request@bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <<A HREF="http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq">http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq</A>> </PRE> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <HR> <STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A HREF="msg10491.html">(ASCEND) Use of the Radius 'class' attribute</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: Ken Packert <kpackert@ascend.com></LI> </UL> </UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <HR> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg10518.html">Re: (ASCEND) Ascend stock (fwd)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg10517.html">Re: (ASCEND) multiple logins</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg10491.html">(ASCEND) Use of the Radius 'class' attribute</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg10507.html">Re: (ASCEND) Ascend stock (fwd)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="maillist.html#10520"><STRONG>Main</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thrd232.html#10520"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> </BODY> </HTML>
