RFC 6929: Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) Protocol Extensions

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

The Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) protocol is nearing exhaustion of its current 8-bit Attribute Type space. In addition, experience shows a growing need for complex grouping, along with attributes that can carry more than 253 octets of data. This document defines changes to RADIUS that address all of the above problems.
