6. IANA Considerations

  1. IANA Considerations

This section provides guidance to the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) regarding registration of values related to the RADIUS protocol, in accordance with BCP 26 [13].

There are three name spaces in RADIUS that require registration: Packet Type Codes, Attribute Types, and Attribute Values (for certain Attributes).

RADIUS is not intended as a general-purpose Network Access Server (NAS) management protocol, and allocations should not be made for purposes unrelated to Authentication, Authorization or Accounting.
