RADIUS Extensions for IP Port Configuration and Reporting
RFC 8045, “RADIUS Extensions for IP Port Configuration and Reporting”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2017 by D. Cheng, J. Korhonen, M. Boucadair, S. Sivakumar. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
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.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
