      40808 is the Wi-Fi alliance.  They have historically been been secretive with their RADIUS dictionaries.  No idea  why.  It's like they don't want people to use their standards...

      I'd say "octets".

      If it's a roaming-consortium value, then it looks like a 3 character GSMA TAGID, followed by ... ??

      But I'm not willing to spend $50K to join the Wi-Fi alliance, and they're not willing to share their "secret" information with people.
