I still think its a NAS-Port-Type.  A given NAS may have different
NAS-Port-Types or more to the point, offer more then one type of
connection/service.

The finest granularity is the "Port" or the connection or the service the
is being authenticated/authorized.

In any case, the NAS-Port-Type is good enough.  I don't think we need to
invent another thing.
