The IESG has received a request from the RADIUS EXTensions WG (radext) to consider the following document: - 'Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) Protocol Extensions' <draft-ietf-radext-radius-extensions-08.txt> as Proposed Standard Note that this document is Standards Track and has normative references to two Informational documents, RFCs 2866 and 5176. See http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/radext/current/msg07979.html for some history on those two RFCs. The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2013-01-25. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) protocol is nearing exhaustion of its current 8-bit Attribute Type space. In addition, experience shows a growing need for complex grouping, along with attributes which can carry more than 253 octets of data. This document defines changes to RADIUS which address all of the above problems. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-radext-radius-extensions/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-radext-radius-extensions/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
