  That is what the documentation says.

  I'm not sure what you mean by that.

  No.

  It says the NAMES are never exchanged.  NAMES.  Not ATTRIBUTES.

  Use attributes that are *supposed* to go into a RADIUS packet.  It has
nothing to do with MySQL.  The attributes can come from anywhere.

  You can't simply invent attribute numbers.  They are assigned via a
controlled process.  The numbers you used "78" and "79" are *already*
assigned to different attributes.

  You need to read the documentation for the PPOE server to see which
attributes it understands.  There's also a "dictionary.roaringpenguin"
file distributed with FreeRADIUS.  It defines attributes for the RP
PPPoE server, for upload and download rate limiting.

  Use that.
