All,

This one was previously owned by Bernard, but we have no issue on it, so I've taken it
over, below, have questions on what exactly the problem is.

Issue 42: Session-Timeout inconsistent with RADIUS spec 
Submitter name: Pat Calhoun 
Submitter email address: [email-masked] 
Date first submitted: 2001-06-05 
Reference: 
Document: NASREQ 
Comment type: C 
Priority: 1 
Section: 3.1.2 and 4.2.2 
Rationale/Explanation of issue: 

At the Interim Meeting, Bernard stated that the use of Session-Timeout 
in Diameter was inconsistent with RADIUS (RFC 2865). The only difference 
that I can see is that in RADIUS, the Session-Timeout can be used in 
an access-challenge (presumably to limit the amount of time a user can 
respond). If this is the only change required, then the NASREQ AAA and 
DEA commands would have to be updated. 

Any other inconsistencies?
