SNMP vs. RADIUS transport mappings

How is this different from say, SNMP? 

The original transport mappings for SNMP (RFC 1089, 1906) were all datagram
transports.

The logic for SNMP over UDP was quite well enshrined.  For example, see the
following discussion,
which has some parallels with RFC 2865 Section 2.4:
http://www.unix.org.ua/orelly/networking_2ndEd/snmp/ch02_01.htm

Yet, RFC 3430 defined SNMP over TCP:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3430.txt

Normative references included the following:
