  Read the NAS documentation to see what attributes change the bandwidth
limit.  Then, send them via radclient.

  As with nearly everything RADIUS, the NAS is in charge.  Not the
RADIUS server.  Not anything *you* do.

  Think of it as being in a foreign country, and not knowing the
language.  The problem isn't how to ask for directions.  You know how to
ask for directions.  The problem is to make the *local* person
understand your request for directions.  This means speaking the local
language.

  Reading an English dictionary will not help you learn the Russian
words for "left" and "right".
