Re: (ASCEND) Radius (fwd)
Once upon a time Kevin A. Smith shaped the electrons to say...

Which I think is very good BTW.
A couple of users told me there is a limit on the number of filters you
can place in a MAX. Is there some hard limit?

As long as it is using RFC data types, it is a step in the right direction.
Even the bogus high-number attributes can simply be added to an RFC based
RADIUS server.
Taking it further what I'd really like to see is all of the Ascend extended
attributes moved over to VSAs so that the space Ascend has grabbed is free
again. I don't have a problem with filters coming from RADIUS - both 3Com
and Cisco do it I believe - they just use VSAs and allow the NAS to process
them. So it doesn't require the RADIUS server to pre-process them into a
binary object.
