The Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) protocol is
limited to a total packet size of 4096 bytes. Provisions exist for
fragmenting large amounts of authentication data across multiple
packets, via Access-Challenge packets. No similar provisions exist
for fragmenting large amounts of authorization data. This document
specifies how existing RADIUS mechanisms can be leveraged to provide
that functionality. These mechanisms are largely compatible with
existing implementations, and they are designed to be invisible to
proxies and "fail-safe" to legacy RADIUS Clients and Servers.
This document is a product of the RADIUS EXTensions Working Group of the IETF.
