What makes you believe that people familiar with RADIUS would be
guaranteed to "know perfectly which kind of services you're talking
about"?  You're clearly familiar with mobile services so I assume that
you know perfectly well how to configure a RADIUS server.  However,
I'm prepared to try to support you!

Pointing us to Google when you have not given a clear explanation of
which header attributes you wish to enrich is not at all helpful.  I
have a general understanding of what 'header enrichment' is.  You just
didn't give me any info regarding what you wanted to enrich your
headers with.

If there is a RADIUS attribute/VSA that can be interpreted by the
RADIUS client as containing the information required to enrich your
headers, and the client then does the right thing with the Value of
that AV pair, then yes, it can be done.  If the RADIUS client cannot
take the information from a specific AVP, then no it cannot be done
without development work by your client vendor (nothing the server can
do to force it).

Hope that helps,
