Operation of a radius server

[Marco Fretz]

hello dave

i know the following:
the clients dsl router establishes a pppoe connection with the NAS (my a 
cisco access router with pppoe support and authentification agains 
radius). the NAS needs the framed-ip, compression type, mtu, etc.  from 
the radius.

the radius is getting a request with the encrypted password from the 
NAS. if the login is correct the radius will answer with a accept packet 
and the information like framed-ip, mut, compression type, etc.
