 So it *is* a AAA protocol?

I actually do not know what criteria you put in the AAA term. It might be different from what I use it for.

For me TACACS does the following things:

It checks username/password when I login, and the TAC+ server says if I can login or not with those credentials. It sends CLI commands I run on the router to the TAC+ server, and the TAC+ server grants or doesn't grant me to run those individual commands, on a per-command basis. It also records what commands I ran.

That's what I thought the "Authentication, Authorization, Accounting" meant.

As far as I have understood, Radius/Diameter doesn't do the last function(s) I described. Why is that?
