If you are creating your own attributes, get an IANA enterprise number 
(either apply for one or re-use one if AND ONLY IF you're certainly it 
will only be used internally) and use a vendor-specific attribute space. 
See the dictionary.$vendor files for examples.

Alternatively, have a dig in the dictionary files and/or RFCs for an 
existing attribute that closely matches the purpose. What are you trying 
to do?

Obviously you'll have to have control over the radius client to make it 
actually use the new attribute. Most will only use attributes they 
already know about.
