Thank you for the real-life example :)
Anyway since the server receives an indication that RADIUS translation
is happening (thanks to Origin-AAA-Protocol AVP) the server is (at
least, should be) able to handle this situation in a not-too-ugly way.
Put otherwise: if we are using pure RADIUS (or RADIA), we face the same
problem to convey this Filter Rule. What is the solution in that case?
