Larger Packets for RADIUS over TCP
RFC 7930, “Larger Packets for RADIUS over TCP”, is an Experimental document published in August 2016 by S. Hartman. It updates RFC 6613. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The RADIUS-over-TLS experiment described in RFC 6614 has opened RADIUS to new use cases where the 4096-octet maximum size limit of a RADIUS packet proves problematic. This specification extends the RADIUS-over-TCP experiment (RFC 6613) to permit larger RADIUS packets. This specification compliments other ongoing work to permit fragmentation of RADIUS authorization information. This document registers a new RADIUS code, an action that required IESG approval.
