hi all,
the operator-name lead to a long discussion on the mailing list. the
discussion is far too long to copy-and-paste it into this mail. hence, we
only show the proposed resolution of the issue:
The previously used attribute is split into two attributes. Below you find
the new text including the relevant parts of the IANA section:
"
5.1 Operator-Type Attribute
This attribute contains an operator type which combined with the
Operator-Name attribute serves to uniquely identify the ownership of
an access network. The attribute value is a four octet integer.
This document defines three values for this attribute: 1 (GSM), 2
(CDMA), and 3 (REALM). Additional values require an IANA
registration and MUST be associated with an organization responsible
for assigning/managing the operator names.
The GSM operator type can be used to indicate operator names based on
GSMA TADIG codes. The TADIG Working Group within the GSM Association
is the authority responsible for issuing unique Operator-Name values
for operators of this type.
The CDMA operator type can be used to indicate operator names based
on the Home Network Identifier (HNI). The HNI is the concatenation
of the 3-digit Mobile Country Code (MCC) and 3-digit Mobile Network
Code (MNC). The IMSI Oversight Council (IOC) is the authority
responsible for issuing unique Operator-Name values for operators of
this type.
The REALM operator type can be used to indicate operator names based
on any registered domain name. The Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority (IANA) or registered delegate is the authority responsible
for issuing unique Operator-Name values for operators of this type.
5.2 Operator-Name Attribute
This attribute contains an operator name which combined with the
Operator-Type attribute serves to uniquely identifies the ownership
of an access network. The attribute value is a non-NULL terminated
string whose Length MUST NOT exceed 253 bytes. The attribute value
uniquely identifies the operator name within the scope of the
operator type.
"
15. IANA Considerations
The authors request that the Attribute Types, and Attribute Values
defined in this document be registered by the Internet Assigned
Numbers Authority (IANA) from the RADIUS name spaces as described in
the "IANA Considerations" section of RFC 2865 [1], in accordance with
BCP 26 [9].
15.1 Operator Type
This document also defines a new registry for the Operator-Type
attribute. Initially, IANA is requested to register the following
values and associated registry owners for the operator namespace:
+-----+-----------+----------------------------+
| # | Namespace | Registry Owner |
+-----+-----------+----------------------------+
| 1 | GSM | GSM Association: TADIG WG |
| 2 | CDMA | IMSI Oversight Council |
| 3 | REALM | IANA or delegate |
+-----------------+----------------------------+
Following the policies outlined in [9] new Operator-Types will be
assigned after Expert Review by the Geopriv working group or its
designated successor.

does this meet your expectations?
