Abstract
For the Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) protocol
to continue to support new applications the RADIUS attribute type
space must be extended beyond the current limit of 255 possible
attribute types while maintaining backwards compatibility with the
existing protocol. This document defines a mechanism to accomplish
that task, along with standard methods to group together related

Internet-Draft Extended RADIUS Attributes March 2008
1. Introduction
The Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) Protocol
[RFC2865] defines two classes of attributes: standard and vendor-
specific.
Vendor-specific Attributes (VSAs) allow vendors (including Standards
Development Organizations (SDOs)) to define their own Attributes,
which may not be suitable for general usage; on the other hand, the
attributes that belong to the standard RADIUS space are controlled by
the IETF and are intended to be of general utility. These attributes
are defined in RFCs and are assigned type codes by the Internet
Assigned Number Authority (IANA)[IANA].
The standard RADIUS attribute type code is 8 bits in length; hence
RADIUS is limited to 255 attribute types. Of these 255 attribute
types, 101 or so have been assigned. According to RFC 3575
[RFC3575], types 192-223 are reserved for experimental use; types
224-240 are reserved for implementation-specific use; and values 241-
255 are reserved and should not be used. Therefore, as of this
writing there are approximately 90 type codes that can be allocated
to new attributes.
RADIUS evolution must not be hindered by the inability to define new
standard RADIUS attributes. This document defines a mechanism to
extend the standard RADIUS Attribute space by defining a new scheme
to allocate attribute type codes. In addition, mechanisms are
defined to support both the grouping of related attributes and the
encoding of attribute values the length of which exceed the current
limit of 253 octets.
2. Terminology
Extended Attribute
The term used for the new RADIUS attributes that are defined in
this document
Extended Type
The type code assigned to an Extended Attribute
2.1. Requirements Language
In this document, several words are used to signify the requirements
of the specification. These words are often capitalized. The key
words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD",
"SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document
are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

Internet-Draft Extended RADIUS Attributes March 2008
An implementation is not compliant if it fails to satisfy one or more
of the must or must not requirements for the protocols it implements.
An implementation that satisfies all the MUST, MUST NOT, SHOULD, and
SHOULD NOT requirements for its protocols is said to be
"unconditionally compliant"; one that satisfies all the MUST and MUST
NOT requirements but not all the SHOULD or SHOULD NOT requirements
for its protocols is said to be "conditionally compliant".
3. Problem Statement
A fundamental requirement for extending the RADIUS attribute space is
the maintenance of backwards compatibility. This means that RADIUS
servers and proxies must be able to continue to decode and encode
messages even though they may not need to understand an attribute
that has been extended. More specifically, the scheme MUST be
compliant with the various RADIUS RFCs such as [RFC2865] and RADIUS
Accounting [RFC2866], etc.
The scheme SHOULD ensure that the size of the standard type space
extension is large enough that it will not be quickly exhausted or is
extensible in the event that it is.
Furthermore, the scheme SHOULD align with the Diameter NASReq
Application [RFC4005], thereby allowing the two AAA standards to
interoperate.
A need to group related RADIUS attributes together has become
prevalent in current work. Therefore, the proposed scheme SHOULD
provide a mechanism to group related attributes together.
In recent years, attribute sizes have been threatening the limit of
253 octets. Fragmentation of RADIUS attributes has always been
possible by extending the value into another attribute of the same
type; however, this approach does not always work (for example, if
more than one instance of an attribute occurs in the same RADIUS
packet). The proposed scheme SHOULD enable the transmission of
attributes longer than 253 octets.
4. RADIUS Type Extension
The solution described in this document takes the recommended VSA
format [RFC2865] as a basis for the RADIUS Extended Attributes.
We allocate RADIUS the Vendor-Id of zero (0). In essence we are
assigning the IETF a Vendor-Id which is what other SDOs have done in
registering their own Vendor-Id.
Li, et al. Expires September 16, 2008 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Extended RADIUS Attributes March 2008
Extended Attributes consist of an attribute header similar to that
recommended by RFC 2865 [RFC2865] for Vendor Specific Attributes
followed by a non-empty sequence of Type-Length-Value (TLV) triples
(see below). If an Extended Attribute contains more than one TLV
then all of the encapsulated TLVs MUST fit completely within the
Extended Attribute.
The Extended Attribute header is 7 octets in length and is encoded as
follows:
o The first octet contains the Type which is always Vendor-Specific
(26)
o The second octet contains the length (in octets) of the entire
Extended Attribute, including the Extended Attribute header and
all encapsulated TLVs
o The next 4 octets contain the Vendor-Id (0)
o The final octet of the header contains the More flag and Tag
field. If the one bit More flag is set (1) this indicates that
the encapsulated TLV is continued in the following Extended
Attribute; if the More flag is clear (0) then all of the
encapsulated TLVs fit into the current Extended Attribute. The
More flag MUST NOT be set if the Extended Attribute contains more
than one TLV. The Tag field is used to combine sets of related
Extended Attributes into simple groups.
o The Data field is an abstract container for TLVs; the Data field
MUST contain at least one TLV.
TLVs are encoded as follows:
o The first octet is the Ext-Type field
o The next octet is the Ext-Length field, representing of the entire
TLV, including the length of the Ext-Type field (1 octet), the
length of the Ext-Length field itself (1 octet) and the length of
the Value field (1 or more octets)
o The Value field consists of one or more octets comprising the
actual data to be transmitted
5. Formal Syntax

Attributes. The basis of this encoding is the format recommended for

Vendor ID
The high-order octet is zero (0) and the low-order 3 octets are
zeros (0)s representing an extended IETF RADIUS attribute
M (More)
The More Flag is one (1) bit in length and MUST be present. When
a value to be transmitted exceeds 246 octets in length it is
fragmented over two or more Extended Attributes. If the More Flag
is set (1), this indicates that the Value field of the Extended
Attribute contains a fragment of a larger value, which is
continued in the next Extended Attribute of the same Ext-Type.
When the More Flag is clear (0), the final (or only) fragment of
the value is contained in the Extended Attribute.
Tag
The Tag field is 7 bits long and MUST be present. It is used to
group Extended Attributes. Extended Attributes with the same non-
zero value in the Tag field belong to the same group. A Tag value
of zero (0) indicates that the attribute is not grouped. A Tag
value of all ones (0x7F) is reserved.
Data
The Data field is >= 3 octets in length. It consists of 1 or more
TLVs.
TLVs have the following syntax:

o encapsulation of values greater than 253 octets in length
o grouping of related Extended Attributes using tags
o encapsulation of more than one TLV in a single Extended Attribute
Consider the following structure:
struct
Integer a;
String b;
Integer c;
endStruct
Element a is assigned an Extended Type of 290. Element b is assigned
an Extended Type of 259 and element c is assigned an Extended Type of
271. The following figure illustrates the coding where a(0,20) =
0xDEADDEAD, b(0,1) = "He", b(243,250) = "The end." and is of length
251 octets; and c(0,27) = 0x12345678. The attributes are grouped
together with TAG=42. For the sake of brevity, the value of b(3,241)
is omitted.

7. Security Considerations
TBD
8. IANA Considerations
This solution requires that the IETF be allocated Vendor-Type of zero
to the IETF.
It also requires that IANA set up a new registry for the RADIUS
Extended Attribute Types.
9. Open Issues
What is the numbering scheme for attributes that will be used by RFC
writers going forward? For example today we write user-name(1).
Going forward, will we write foo-bar(0,1)?
What is the numbering plan for these attributes? What (if any) range
should be reserved? What should the IANA policy for allocation new
Vendor-Ids to the IETF?
It seems like RFC 4005 covers most of the question regarding Diameter
compatibility, but a few questions remain. For example, should we
require that the 'M' bit be set or not?
