Hello softwires, this is to let you know of recent developments in the radext working group: there's a draft draft-ietf-radext-radius-extensions (-02) that describes new attribute formats. Among them is a data type "TLV" which is container for sub-attributes. Looking at the 6rd-radius-attributes draft, I read the statement in 4.1: "Given that RADIUS currently has no recommended way of grouping multiple attributes, the below design appears to be a reasonable compromise." See http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-radext-radius-extensions-02 The radius-extensions document already had a WGLC (currently resolving comments). You might want to reconsider your usage of a complex attribute encoding and use a (cleaner) TLV-with-subattributes approach instead. You should consider it especially because an existing BCP RFC makes clear that complex attribute encodings shouldn't be used if a viable alternative exists (RFC6158). Greetings, Stefan Winter
