We would like to use FreeRadius to decode Cablelabs accounting messages, as specified in http://www.cablelabs.com/packetcable/downloads/specs/PKT-SP-EM-I12-05812.pdf.
After reading that spec... those guys are crazy. They invented their own format, and didn't even use sub-TLVs. It will be a LOT of work to get this done. It's not difficult work. It's just that the document specifies a lot of "one off" data formats. This means every single case has to be handled by writing code. If they had used a generic format, then we could have done a "dictionary to attribute" mapping as with normal RADIUS. Alan DeKok.
