What is the current consenscus on tha Attribute naming. I've learned that underline usage isn't appreciated even though some vendors use it.
Personally, I hate it. It's annoying, and doesn't follow the 20 year practice of RADIUS.
VENDOR foovendor <id>
a) ATTRIBUTE foovendor-name-by-vendor-doc... b) ATTRIBUTE name-by-vendor-doc...
I've seen both in usage but mostly consistently throughout a dictionary itself (some vendors indicate variant a, some don't but it doesn't always match with FR's dicts).
We try to balance the approaches of "use sane names" and "use vendor names". It's not always perfect. The *official* recommendation for naming schemes is given here: http://tools.ietf.org/search/rfc6929#section-2.7.1 You'll note I'm the author. :) Alan DeKok.
