Hello all, as you probably know, the specification RFC for Diameter has been released. Diameter is intended to be a replacement for the Radius protocol adding a number of desirable features like reliability, security, defined failover, agent support, server messages, peer discovery etc.
See (amongst others) http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/aaa-charter.html http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-aaa-diameter-15.txt We are now commencing the design phase for Diameter support, and we ask for your input and feedback about if/how Radiator should be enhanced to support Diameter. We are interested in any feedback you may have, but some specific questions you might address are: How soon do you expect to be deploying Diameter and how soon will you need Diameter protocol support? Is the general architecture of Radiator (ie plugin authenticators and general extensibility) still suitable? Is the range of user databases still suitable. Do you expect to continue using the same user database into the forseeable future? What are the features of Radiator that should be included in Diameter? What features of Radiator should NOT be included in Diameter? What new features would you like to see? Are the licensing arrangements suitable? Is full source still desirable? Is perl still desirable? How backward-compatible does it need to be? Databases? Configuration file? Plugins? etc? What would be your preferred hardware/OS platform(s)? Feedback and replies direct to me please. Cheers. -- Mike McCauley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Open System Consultants Pty.
