Problem Scope • Networks and operators require a user to register in order to provide access to the network or access to value added services. • Registration provides the network the user's identity and other related information thereby enabling the operator to authenticate the user and authorize access to services and resources in addition to having a mechanism for charging/accounting. • Current user registration mechanisms are built into the lower layers thereby making them access specific; An upper layer protocol will enable the usage of a common registration mechanism for multiple access types.
Problem Scope Contd.. • AAA (RADIUS/DIAMETER) protocols exist within the network and use information about the user obtained via mechanisms such as PPP to authenticate and authorize as well as charge(accounting). A registration protocol should be the mechanism that exists between the user and the network which carries information used by AAA entities. • Two aspects to network access: configuration and registration; The objective with a registration protocol is only registration.
