Question regarding nested WiMAX TLV formatting

Dear all,

I wish to deploy FreeRadius on a WiMAX setup, and I need a modern version of FreeRadius in order to use WiMAX-Packet-Flow-Descriptor-v2 and nested TLVs (according to http://freeradius.1045715.n5.nabble.com/Sub-TLV-s-td3336559.html, I should use the git/2.2 version of FreeRadius - which I did compile and run successfully). My question is about how to configure/describe/format the nested TLVs in the reply (not in the dictionary), either in the "users" file or in the MySQL tables (e.g. in "radgroupreply"). Indeed, in the following example : how can I express the fact that the WiMAX-PFDv2-Packet-Data-Flow-Id attribute is *inside* the WiMAX-Packet-Flow-Descriptor-v2 ? what should I put in the "value" field for "WiMAX-Packet-Flow-Descriptor-v2", since the real "value" is constituted by the following TLVs ? How can I say "end-tlv" at some point so that the "Some-other-attribute" is no longer inside WiMAX-Packet-Flow-Descriptor-v2 but is at the root level ?

INSERT INTO `radgroupreply` (`id`, `groupname`, `attribute`, `op`, `value`) VALUES
(1, 'Gold', 'WiMAX-Packet-Flow-Descriptor-v2', ':=', '??')
(2, 'Gold', 'WiMAX-PFDv2-Packet-Data-Flow-Id', ':=', '1') # inside the first one
...
(100, 'Gold', 'Some-other-attribute', ':=', 'foobar')

Best regards,
