Re: subtypes

[Victor Gamov <vit@lipetsk.ru>]

My two cents (again :-) )about possible attribute format to carry 
subattributes.
When I say "subattribute" I speak about service or application specific
attributes which must be sended to specific hardware or software.


Type -- Attribute type.  may be 226 for example

SoA ID -- Service or Application ID.  We can assign standard numbers to
services (SIP, WiFi, LAN etc) and applications (Prepaid etc). So all
vendors can use it in their products.

SoA Type -- Service or Application Type. This is SoA attribute type.

Tag -- tag to allow attribute assemble/disassemle (like EAP)


+---------------------------------------------------------------+

+---------------+---------------+-------------------------------+
|   Type (226)  |    Length     |             SoA ID            |
+---------------+---------------+-------------------------------+
|             SoA Type          |      Tag      |  SoA length   |
+---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+
|    Value...

I hope it maybe really help to solve our "subtype problem".
