Hi Alejandro,

Thanks for your careful review. I'll correct the nits ASAP.

Yes; aligning this with the Diameter document is the goal for the next rev.

In this case I believe that Diameter should be used.

I agree that it would be possible to invent a callback mechanism to
resolve a jumbo assertion, but I believe that these would introduce
non-trivial implementation and operational issues.

Speaking from an operator's perspective, I would personally prefer to
increase the RADIUS message MTU (particularly for the TCP transport case),
but obviously there are process considerations that could impede this.

Josh.
