RE: Suggestions regarding RADIUS encoding for draft-ietf-dime-qos-attributes-07.txt

As Alan noted, the issues are:

1. Sheer number of attributes.
2. Grouping. 
3. Data types.

Issues #1 and #2 could be addressed if a way could be found to use the
RADIUS Extended Attribute format.  This would address the concern of
allocating a significant fraction of all resources remaining within the
attribute space defined in RFC 2865, within a single document. 
Can you live with the grouping functionality provided in the Extended
Attributes document?

Issue #3 is more difficult.  Is there a way to live with the existing RADIUS
data types?

The problem is the following. Whatever we do we with the encoding someone
will come along and say that it does not comply with the RADIUS Design
Guidelines document.

I can already envision some folks who will later complain.

	I'm not sure there are any good methods for doing this."
	
	
	
	
	
	I would agree with Alan that there is no obvious RADIUS encoding of
these attributes compatible with the RADIUS Design Guidelines.
