That sounds good to me. In some earlier offline discussions I also heard of 
people wanting to do RADIUS-over-SSH-TCP-port-forwarding. Not my personal 
favourite, but still.

The idea would then be to have one document about:

- identifying parts of 2865 that are of relevance for UDP only
- how to replace those UDP transport specifics with TCP

and another document about

- using (D)TLS to secure the payload

(where I would hope that DTLS and TLS have enough similarities to warrant 
being put into one document. Not sure about that though.)

RadSec would then be the application of both in conjunction.

Does that sound acceptable?

Greetings,

Stefan
