RFC 3576bis Comments



Some comments on draft-ietf-radext-dynauth-client-mib-01.txt. Most of 
these comments also apply to the dynauth-server-mib document. 

The initial sections could use some re-organization.  My suggestion is to 
start the document with Section 2 - Introduction.  Section 1 
(Requirements) would become Section 1.1, and Terminology would become 
Section 1.2.

Section 2 (Introduction) refers to RFC 2619 and 2621.  It should also 
probably refer to the RFC 2619bis and RFC 2621bis documents. 

To address some of the terminology confusion, my suggestion is that the 
Terminology section be rewritten as follows:

"1.2  Terminology

   Dynamic Authorization Server (DAS)

   The component that resides on the NAS which processes the 
   Disconnect and Change-of-Authorization (CoA) Request packets 
   [RFC3576] sent by the Dynamic Authorization Client. 

   Dynamic Authorization Client (DAC)

   The component which sends Disconnect and CoA-Request packets 
   to the Dynamic Authorization Server.  While often residing on the 
   RADIUS server,  it is also possible for this component to
   be located on a separate host, such as a Rating Engine.  

   Dynamic Authorization Server Port

   The UDP port on which the Dynamic Authorization server listens for
   the Disconnect and CoA requests sent by the Dynamic Authorization
   Client."

Section 5

Rewrite the first paragraph:

"5.  Overview

   "Dynamic Authorization Extensions to RADIUS" [RFC3576] defines
   the operation of Disconnect-Request, Disconnect-ACK, Disconnect-NAK,
   CoA-Request, CoA-ACK and CoA-NAK packets.  [DYNSERV] defines the
   Dynamic Authorization Server MIB and the relationship with other
   MIB modules.  This MIB module for the Dynamic Authorization
   Client contains the following:"


Capitalization

The term "authenticator" is inconsistently capitalized.
