RE: Review of draft-tiwari-radext-tunnel-type-02.txt

A bit of additional background.

The intent of RFC 3575 was to allow allocation of RADIUS attribute values via Expert Review (with exceptions such as Service-Type). 

However, the Tunnel-Type attribute was defined in RFC 2868 (Section 3.1), which was not updated by RFC 3575, and it specifies "IETF Consensus". 
Therefore the need for some additional formality.  

The currently defined values fof the Tunnel-Type attribute are as follows:
   1      Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) [RFC2637]
   2      Layer Two Forwarding (L2F) [RFC2341]
   3      Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) [RFC2661]
   4      Ascend Tunnel Management Protocol (ATMP) [RFC2107]
   5      Virtual Tunneling Protocol (VTP)
   6      IP Authentication Header in the Tunnel-mode (AH) [RFC2401]
   7      IP-in-IP Encapsulation (IP-IP) [RFC2003]
   8      Minimal IP-in-IP Encapsulation (MIN-IP-IP) [RFC2004]
   9      IP Encapsulating Security Payload in the Tunnel-mode (ESP) [RFC1827]
   10     Generic Route Encapsulation (GRE) [RFC1701]
   11     Bay Dial Virtual Services (DVS)
   12     IP-in-IP Tunneling [RFC1853]
   13     VLAN [RFC3580]
