RFC 5580, “Carrying Location Objects in RADIUS and Diameter”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2009 by H. Tschofenig, F. Adrangi, M. Jones, A. Lior, B. Aboba. It has since been updated by RFC 8559. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes procedures for conveying access-network ownership and location information based on civic and geospatial location formats in Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) and Diameter.
The distribution of location information is a privacy-sensitive task. Dealing with mechanisms to preserve the user's privacy is important and is addressed in this document. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
