Could you elaborate on what you think is a proprietary way in 3GPP2? As far
as I am concerned, 3GPP2 used standard RADIUS attributes. As I said, I am
not against MIP4 specific RADEXT work, but I don't feel it is needed, that's
all.

>>>- The RADIUS maximum packet size (4K) will not be increased.

>>>Work Items
>>>
>>>The immediate goals of the RADEXT working group are to address the

>>>- RADIUS design guidelines.  This document will provide guidelines

>>>  document will also review RADIUS data types and associated

>>>
>>>- Revised NAI specification.  This document, known as "RFC 2486bis"

>>>  routing as well as handling internationalization.
>>>
>>>- Pre-paid support.  Prepaid services are contemplated in a number

>>>  This document will be compatible with Diameter Credit Control.
>>>

>>>- LAN attributes.  New attributes have been proposed to enable use of

>>>
>>>Goals and Milestones:

>>>Dec 04  Updated RADIUS MIBs submitted for publication.
