RADIUS Extensions for IP Port Configuration and Reporting
Abstract
This document defines three new RADIUS attributes. For devices that
implement IP port ranges, these attributes are used to communicate
with a RADIUS server in order to configure and report IP transport
ports as well as mapping behavior for specific hosts. This mechanism
can be used in various deployment scenarios such as Carrier-Grade
NAT, IPv4/IPv6 translators, Provider WLAN gateway, etc. This
document defines a mapping between some RADIUS attributes and IP Flow
Information Export (IPFIX) Information Element identifiers.
