Given that to date we have very explicitly designed things to work w/ RADIUS and have not taken on the work for Diameter, but that we all say that it should work just fine w/ Diameter. I think that making a statement the first time we use RADIUS that it does not preclude the use of Diameter and then always using RADIUS is fine.

In issue 12 <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/abfab/trac/ticket/12> http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/abfab/trac/ticket/12 you wrote: " We have defined a IdP as containing a radius server. Issue #1 <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/abfab/trac/ticket/1> is should radius always be capitalized? Issue #2 <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/abfab/trac/ticket/2> At this point - should we say that we use the term RADIUS as being either RADIUS or DIAMETER? " Yes, RADIUS should be capitalized. Diameter is not capitalized. Regarding item #2 we have two options: a) We could instead of using the term RADIUS use AAA to refer to both RADIUS and Diameter. b) We could, as you indicate, state that we use the term RADIUS without any loss of generality. I think the question ultimately boils down to what our audience better understands. I don't really know but I prefer (a) since that's what I have done in other docs. Ciao Hannes
