1. Abstract
This document describes how proxy chaining and policy implementation
can be supported in roaming systems. The mechanisms described in this
document are in current use.
However, as noted in the security considerations section, the
techniques outlined in this document are vulnerable to attack from
external parties as well as susceptible to fraud perpetrated by the
roaming partners themselves. As a result, such methods are not
suitable for wide-scale deployment on the Internet.
2. Terminology
This document frequently uses the following terms:
Network Access Server
The Network Access Server (NAS) is the device that clients contact
in order to get access to the network.
RADIUS server
This is a server which provides for authentication/authorization
via the protocol described in [3], and for accounting as described
in [4].
