My $0.02 is that it's easier to do:
Parse NS stuff
NS1 - parse protocol-specific 1
NS2 - parse protocol-specific 2
The alternative is:
Parse NS stuff
NS1 - parse NS1-specific variant of protocol 1
NS2 - parse NS2-specific variant of protocol 2
I don't want to write yet another "almost RADIUS" or "almost Diameter"
encoder/decoder. I'd like to re-use the existing code where possible.
But the current consensus of the WG seems to be against this opinion.
Oh well.
