RE: Bang-path routing

"  The concern is that it's being pushed as a "standard" because it's in
4282.  Nearly every RADIUS vendor / implementor I've talked to doesn't
like it.  The operators who run WiFi networks don't like it.  But
because it's a "standard" in 4282, there is a strong push in some
circles to push it on everyone."

Ugh.  RFC 5113 (which is Informational) points out a number of issues
with bang-path routing as well as RFC 4284.  BTW, aside from 3GPP and
WiMAX, who else is pushing bang-path routing?

"  The "optional" part seems to have been missed by some standards bodies
that are referencing 4282.

  Seeing that the text was there only for 3GPP, and not for traditional
(or currently deployed) RADIUS systems, it would seem useful to delete
it.  If 3GPP wants that format, they can define it themselves."

They specifically requested the IETF to define it so as to enable a
single approach.
