REMINDER: Consideration of draft-lior-radius-attribute-type-extension-01

["Bernard Aboba" <bernard_aboba@hotmail.com>]

On December 5, 2006 a call for review of the RADIUS extended attribute 
document was issued to the RADEXT WG as well as other IETF WGs affected by 
the document:
http://ops.ietf.org/lists/radiusext/2006/msg01002.html

Unfortunately, no review comments were received relating to this document.

Given that the call for review occurred during the holiday season,we are 
reissuing the call for review.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The RADEXT WG has a charter deliverable for an extended form of RADIUS 
attribute.  The apparent consensus in the WG is to solve a very simple set 
of problems in this space, including the pending exhaustion of the standard 
RADIUS attribute IDs, a consistent mechanism for application layer 
fragmentation and reassembly for Diameter interoperability, and a consistent 
mechanism for grouping of attributes for data structuring, also for Diameter 
interoperability.

Given the list of proposed work in RADEXT and other IETF WGs with RADIUS 
extensions work on their charters, it is conceivable that we might exhaust 
the existing IANA RADIUS registry for Attribute Types fairly soon.  
Therefore, this work is considered to be of some urgency.

The structure of the extended attribute format currently under consideration 
may require changes in various RADIUS extensions drafts in RADEXT and other 
working groups.   This assumes that at least some of these documents will 
ultimately use the RADIUS extended attribute allocations.

The RADEXT WG Chairs are requesting that the RADEXT WG and all other 
affected WGs please review the following document:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-lior-radius-attribute-type-extension-01.txt

Please comment as to whether this document is ready for adoption as a RADEXT 
WG work item, and provide comments as to suggested changes or mprovements by 
sending email to radiusext@ops.ietf.org.  Please use the RADEXT Issue 
Tracker format template, found at:

http://www.drizzle.com/~aboba/RADEXT/

and submit your comments to the RADEXT WG mailing list with the keyword
"New Issue" in the subject header.

Please respond by April 10, 2007.  Once all the resultant open issues  have 
been resolved, the RADEXT WG Chairs expect that a WGLC will be issued on the 
revised draft soon thereafter.

Thank you, in advance, for your timely review.

Regards,

Dave Nelson
Bernard Aboba
Co-Chairs, RADEXT WG
