Message-Authenticator should be mandatory (1 1 1 1).

The document appears to contain typos in sections 4.16 and 4.17.   

In section 4.16, it appears that "Home LMA IPv6 address" should be replaced 
by "Home DHCPv6 server address":

Blimey.. we'll fix this.

In Section 4.17, it appears that "Visited LMA IPv6 address" should be

And the same here..

5.2.  Table of Attributes


  The following table provides a guide to attributes that may be found
  in authentication and authorization RADIUS messages between MAG and
  the AAA Server.


Request Accept Reject Challenge #  Attribute

  0-1     0-1    0-1    0-1      80  Message-Authenticator



[BA] The Message-Authenticator attribute is mandatory-to-implement in a 
number of 
RADIUS usages, including EAP (RFC 3579).  Leaving out Message-Authenticator 
could 
result in Access-Requests lacking authentication and
integrity protection.  RFC 6158 Section 3.1 states:

Good point. So, you are saying that we should have:

  1       0-1    0-1    0-1      80  Message-Authenticator

or would 

  1       1      1      1        80  Message-Authenticator

be even better as RFC3759 & 5090 do?


- Jouni




  While [RFC2865] did not require authentication and integrity
  protection of RADIUS Access-Request packets, subsequent
  authentication mechanism specifications, such as RADIUS/EAP [RFC3579]
  and Digest Authentication [RFC5090], have mandated authentication and
  integrity protection for certain RADIUS packets.  [RFC5080], Section
  2.1.1 makes this behavior RECOMMENDED for all Access-Request packets,
  including Access-Request packets performing authorization checks.  It
  is expected that specifications for new RADIUS authentication
  mechanisms will continue this practice.
