The RADIUS client gear will send this attribute inside an Access-Request or Accounting-Request packet to indicate the properties and nature of this user’s connection. Among the data points collected are connection speed, transmit speed, receive speed, and any other optional information. More than one of these attributes is allowed in the Accounting-Request packet to satisfy increasing ITU pressure to allow more modem information to be transmitted that may exceed 252 octets.
