If you were REALLY comprehending the document, then you would have realized
that fields are used to describe parts of an attribute. This is even under
the description of ATTRIBUTES!
ATTRIBUTE 5.1 USERNAME has 3 fields - Type, Length and String
Description

     This Attribute indicates the name of the user to be authenticated.
     It is only used in Access-Request packets.

   A summary of the User-Name Attribute format is shown below.  The
   fields are transmitted from left to right.
