As high-speed access methods emerge and become commonplace, network
providers become interested in denoting access methods not listed in
draft-ietf-radius-radius-v2-01.txt.  

We wish to propose three new values of the NAS-Port-Type attribute:
"xDSL", "cable", and "wireless".  

draft-ietf-radius-radius-v2-01.txt already includes specific DSL
varieties, such as ADSL and SDSL.  However, we envision situations
where knowledge of the specific DSL variety is not available to the
NAS, but where nonetheless "xDSL" might be indicated based on the NAS
configuration and the physical circuit bearing the session.

"cable" and "wireless" would be applied to users gaining network access
through traditional CATV systems and wireless devices, respectively.

Those make sense.  Are there any specific forms of cable or wireless

I cannot think of specific refinements for either one at this time.  As
technologies evolve, and our ability to discern when one of them
obtains, perhaps they could be added.

	it having *some* intermediate nodes within a proxy chain
	perform their own retransmission, while others do not *will*
	cause problems in the network.

Why?  Either you pass things through as you get them, or you take
responsibility and use your own retransmit policy because you know best
(but keeping in mind that if its an access-request, you have a limited
time budget to work with).  It seems a very reasonable thing to have
implementations experiment with, and if someone comes up with a method
that is superior, they can publish it and people can adopt that.  I
would love to see people do some real testing and verification of
retransmit strategies and publish ideas on the topic, the way Van
Jacobson did with TCP windowing.

In most cases Proxy shouldn't need more than 2 hops anyway (I can see
three, but more than that strikes me as likely to be the result of poor
network design).

We have lots of people using Proxy with no reported problems.  I'd be very
interested in hearing from anyone who has operational experience with
RADIUS proxy and is running into any problems.

	The whole premise behind RADIUS servers in the past was that
	they were largely stateless.

And RADIUS servers in the past didn't do proxy.  If you want a
proxy-capable RADIUS server to be able to forward requests to older
RADIUS servers that don't do Proxy (that is, that don't copy the
Proxy-State attribute from request to response), then the forwarding
server has to cache any existing Proxy-States and reattach them when
the reply comes back.  We may both agree that this is not an ideal
thing to do, but if done properly it works very well, and allows
interoperability with existing RADIUS implementations without requiring
that everyone upgrade at once.

Also, RADIUS accounting seems to require maintaining state when doing
proxy, unless someone's come up with a stateless way of dealing with
the Response Authenticator (if so, I'd love to hear about it!).

And many implementers who are dealing with high volumes of RADIUS
accounting packets may wish to cache them securely on an intermediate
RADIUS server and ack them to the NAS, to free up the (typically very
small) buffer memory on the NAS in the case of extended outages on the
network or final accounting server.

	One more comment. In the past it has been made very clear that
	an empty attribute (length = 2), is invalid and not supported
	in the RADIUS protocol. For this reason we had to change the
	EAP draft.

Ah!  I wasn't aware the EAP draft changed so that EAP-Start is no longer
zero length.  In that case I can change the RADIUS Extensions draft
attribute 79 to replace

> Length 
> >= 3 (EAP packet enclosed)
>  = 2  (EAP-Start message)

With simply:

Length 
>= 3

So that it's consistent with the draft-ietf-radius-radius-v2-01.txt
requirement that all attribute lengths be 3 or greater.  Excellent.  If
you see anywhere else in the 3 drafts where an empty attribute is
permitted, please point it out to me; there are not supposed to be
any.

I asked him if there were subcategories of cable or wireless but he
thought not, so I propose adding the following values to NAS-Port-Type:

16      xDSL - Digital Subscriber Line of unknown type   
17      Cable 
18      Wireless (other than PIAFS)

It didn't change. The draft hasn't been updated since it was incorporated
in RADIUS extensions.

Is there any reason for not allowing empty attribute (length = 2)? There
could  be several
benefits if we have this flexibility.

Our company provides hardware and software for wireless LANs, MANs, and
WANs, and we provide much of the access point software to Lucent for their
WaveLAN product. We work closely with Lucent WCND (WaveLAN) in the
Netherlands. 

KarlNet is testing Radius authentication and accounting support in our
software, for authentication of the wireless devices themselves and/or with
a username/password to gain access to the wireless network. The
authentication mechanisms in the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN standard don't
support anything like this. 

We (KarlNet, not necessarily Lucent) would like to see the NAS-Port-Type
attribute for wireless be broken into two subcategories:

	Wireless-- IEEE 802.11
	Wireless-- Other

If the phrasing needs changed, feel free to do so. The IEEE 802.11 standard
is for wireless LAN's, and is used for laptops, handhelds, desktops, etc.
The Apple Airport product uses this standard, in case you pay any attention
to that. However, there are also other wireless network devices becoming
readily available that use different schemes (such as the Palm Pilot VII or
cellular phones). Wireless WAN vendors also are producing non-802.11 radios
for high-speed connections for building-to-building and access
point-to-access point connections. While these might have their own
proprietary authentication schemes, we think it would be a good idea for
Radius to support at least the wireless LAN standard as one type and all
the rest as 'other'. There will certainly be situations in the future where
you would want to allow someone wireless cellphone access but not 802.11
access, or vice-versa.

There's my penny and a half.

Is there a set agenda for the RADIUS group at the IETF in November?  If
so, where would I find it?  If not, how does the RADIUS people meet the
other RADIUS people?  Is there a RADIUS BOF?

Thanks,
Barry

The RADIUS group is mostly finished, so we're not planning to
meet at the November IETF.  I suspect there'll be a lot of
RADIUS people at the AAA and NASREQ working group meetings, although
those aren't directly discussing RADIUS.

Hey, I don't have to go to IETF to find those. ;)

Does it make any sense to have an attribute that will allow the
specification of authentication types before modem negotiation via the
call check mechanism?  That is to say, one good use of the call check
mechanism is to have the NAS send the Access-Request with Service-Type =
Call Check and User-Name = <DNIS> and to have the RADIUS server send back
and Auth-Type specifying what type of authentication mechanism should be
used for this call.

Most NAS gear support a default authentication type.  For those users of
RADIUS that resell ports to ISPs or other customers and need to support
multiple customers dialing into a bank of NAS's it keeps us from having to
dedicate NAS gear to specific customers (ie one customer uses PAP and
another uses CHAP, etc).  I think it would be very useful (we do it here
now) to be able to send back in the Access-Accept something like Auth-Type
= Auth-CHAP so that the NAS will initiate a CHAP negotiation with the
customer, while sending back an Auth-PAP will cause the NAS to initiate a
PAP negotiation.

This model works well for port-resellers and others. A possible definition
might include:
Auth-None
Auth-Any
Auth-Default
Auth-PAP
Auth-CHAP
Auth-MS-CHAP

Thoughts?

Barry

This is in many ways similar to my proposal for "AAA referral".  The main
difference is that I did not propose a separate Service-Type.
