Thanks, can I add an attribute to dictionary.roaringpenguin besides
the ones listed there? I'm asking that to avoid broking my production
environment.

I saw there this (dictionary.roaringpenguin):
 # Downstream speed limit in kb/s
ATTRIBUTE       RP-Downstream-Speed-Limit               2       integer

Can I add at the end?
ATTRIBUTE       Download               6       integer

Do I need to make any attribute number change on my pppoe/nas server
to understand the new defined here?

I'm asking that because the old freeradius/pppoe are working using
those attributes numbers, which is already defined by another
attributes as you stated.

Thanks
