Abstract

The Remote Authentication Dial-In User Server (RADIUS) protocol has,until now, required the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) as the underlyingtransport layer. This document defines RADIUS over the TransmissionControl Protocol (RADIUS/TCP), in order to address handling issuesrelated to RADIUS over Transport Layer Security (RADIUS/TLS). Itpermits TCP to be used as a transport protocol for RADIUS only when atransport layer such as TLS or IPsec provides confidentiality andsecurity. This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internetcommunity.
