Hello,

and here is a quick question to begin with: the document states that the
attributes can occur in an Accounting-Request packet. However, nowhere
in the document is the corresponding semantics of that transmission defined.

I.e. why would a BNG or other RADIUS Client send this in an
Accounting-Request? What would it want to achieve? And how does the
RADIUS server react if it gets conflicting information there (say, IP
addresses in the sub-TLVs differ in the Accounting-Request from what was
sent in the preceding Access-Accept)?

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
