Hello, In section 7.1 of RFC4005, the ABNF for the Tunneling AVP mark as "required" the following attributes: Tunnel-Type, Tunnel-Medium-Type, Tunnel-Client-Endpoint, Tunnel-Server-Endpoint. While I understand that in an answer all these attributes may be required, I think that in a request, used as a hint from the NAS, all attributes are not necessarily present in the message. I think therefore that the ABNF should be relaxed. Do you have any opinion on this? Best regards, Sebastien. -- Sebastien Decugis Research fellow Network Architecture Group NICT (nict.go.jp)
