I think this might be of interest to the people in this list. The IESG is
approving the base Diameter protocol. Diameter is expected to, eventually,
replace Radius (though that definitively won't happen overnight).
The attached message implies the RFC will be released any day now... if you
can't wait to read the specs, they should be at
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-aaa-diameter-17.txt until
then.
Regards.

<draft-ietf-aaa-diameter-17.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This document
is the product of the Authentication, Authorization and Accounting
Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Randy Bush and Bert Wijnen.
Technical Summary
This document is the base for the proposed new IETF AAA protocol
suite. The base protocol is intended to provide an AAA framework for
applications such as network access and IP mobility. Diameter is
also intended to work in both local AAA and in roaming situations.
This draft specifies the message format, transport, error reporting,
accounting and security services to be used by all Diameter
applications. The Diameter base application MUST be supported by all
Diameter implementations.
Working Group Summary
There was no technical dissent to this document in the aaa working
group or during IETF last call.
Protocol Quality
This document was reviewed for the IESG by Randy Bush, and many
others.
