  Don't.  Please.  There are a number of RADIUS libraries available,
including freeradius-client, on freeradius.org.  It's supported, it
works, and it's in use by a number of products.

  See the RFC's.

  This is not a mailing list for general RADIUS questions.  The RFC's
exist.  Please read them.

  If you're doing this for a customer, you're getting paid.  Don't
expect anyone here to help you (for free) to create your product that
has nothing to do with FreeRADIUS.
