This document describes the Diameter protocol application used for
Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) services in the
Network Access Server (NAS) environment.  When combined with the
Diameter Base protocol, Transport Profile, and Extensible
Authentication Protocol specifications, this application specification
satisfies typical network access services requirements.

Initial deployments of the Diameter protocol are expected to include
legacy systems.  Therefore, this application has been carefully
designed to ease the burden of protocol conversion between RADIUS and 
Diameter.  This is achieved by including the RADIUS attribute space to
eliminate the need to perform many attribute translations.

The interactions between Diameter applications and RADIUS specified
in this document are to be applied to all Diameter applications.  In
this sense, this document extends the Base Diameter protocol.

This document is a product of the Authentication, Authorization and
Accounting Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the
"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution
of this memo is unlimited.
