The Remote Authentication Dial-In User Server (RADIUS) protocol has,
until now, required the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) as the underlying
transport layer. This document defines RADIUS over the Transmission
Control Protocol (RADIUS/TCP), in order to address handling issues
related to RADIUS over Transport Layer Security (RADIUS/TLS). It
permits TCP to be used as a transport protocol for RADIUS only when a
transport layer such as TLS or IPsec provides confidentiality and
security. This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet
community.
This document is a product of the RADIUS EXTensions Working Group of the IETF.
EXPERIMENTAL: This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the
