Question for clarification:
We already have the following Radius Attributes for the address/prefix pools:
Framed-Pool (88, section 5.18 of RFC2869), Framed-IPv6-Pool (100, section 2.6 of RFC3162).
http://www.iana.org/assignments/radius-types/radius-types.xml
The foramt are the same as follows:
0 1 2
Delegated-IPv6-Prefix-Pool,
the fomat of these 2 attributes are the same as the above one.
Supposed the above attributes could be explained as follows:
Framed-Pool was designed for the IPv4 address pool; Framed-IPv6-Pool was designed for the IPv6 SLAAC prefix pool; Delegated-IPv6-Prefix-Pool is designed for DHCPv6-PD prefix pool; Stateful-IPv6-Address-Pool is designed for DHCPv6 address pool;
All above attributes are only used to provide the name of the address/prefix pools in a 'string'. I doubt the necessity to make so many 'name' or 'string' attributes for the different address/prefix pools to prevent the ambiguity. I guess 1 attribute for the name of the address/prefix pools might be enough. In fact, the NAS take the role to interpret the meaning of the pook name, right?
I think Framed-Pool can be re-used for the design purpose of Stateful-IPv6-Address-Pool. Do we have any limitation on the usage of Framed-Pool for IPv6? I think Framed-IPv6-Pool can be re-used for the design purpose of Delegated-IPv6-Prefix-Pool to indicate a pool of IPv6 prefix pool. I could even think Framed-Pool can replace Framed-IPv6-Pool to indicate the name of a IPv6 prefix/address pool per the same logic. Am I right?
