   Title           : Deprecating RADIUS/UDP and RADIUS/TCP

Abstract:
   RADIUS crypto-agility was first mandated as future work by RFC 6421.
   The outcome of that work was the publication of RADIUS over TLS (RFC
   6614) and RADIUS over DTLS (RFC 7360) as experimental documents.
   Those transport protocols have been in wide-spread use for many years
   in a wide range of networks.  They have proven their utility as
   replacements for the previous UDP (RFC 2865) and TCP (RFC 6613)
   transports.  With that knowledge, the continued use of insecure
   transports for RADIUS has serious and negative implications for
   privacy and security.

   This document formally deprecates the use of the User Datagram
   Protocol (UDP) and of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) as
   transport protocols for RADIUS.  These transports are permitted
   inside of secure networks, but their use even in that environment is
   strongly discouraged.  For all other environments, the use of secure
   transports such as IPsec or TLS is mandated.
