The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'IANA Considerations for RADIUS' <draft-aboba-radius-iana-07.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Randy Bush and Bert Wijnen. Technical Summary This document provides guidance to the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, IANA, regarding registration of values related to the Remote Authentication Dial In User Service, RADIUS, defined in RFC2865. There are three name spaces in RADIUS that require registration: Packet Type Codes, Attribute Types, and Attribute Values (for certain Attributes). The document also reserves Packet Type Codes that are or have been in use on the Internet. The document creates no new IANA registries, as the RADIUS registry was created by RFC2865. Note that RADIUS is not intended as a general-purpose protocol, and this document makes clear that allocations should not be made for purposes unrelated to Authentication, Authorization or Accounting. Working Group Summary As this document is not the product of an IETF working group, there was a four week IETF last call. There was some discussion and there were a few differing views, one in particular. The document was subsequently revised to take the comments into account as much as possible. Protocol Quality This document was reviewed for the IESG by Randy Bush and many others.
