Abstract
This document describes the set of Remote Authentication Dial-In User
Service Vendor-Specific Attributes (RADIUS VSAs) defined by the DSL
Forum.
These attributes are designed to transport Digital Subscriber Line
(DSL) information that is not supported by the standard RADIUS
attribute set. It is expected that this document will be updated if
and when the DSL Forum defines additional vendor-specific attributes,
since its primary purpose is to provide a reference for DSL equipment
vendors wishing to interoperate with other vendors’ products.
