  1. History • Since created in 1995, RADIUS has been used to provide authentication, authorization and generate accounting information for dial-in users. • However, it does not support roaming users efficiently, and is not designed to support emerging QoS (RSVP, IntServ, DiffServ) services. • In March 1998, the IESG decided to close the RADIUS WG to open the way for a more flexible protocol for AAA services. • In August 1998, a new BOF is created to design a new AAA protocol.

  2. DIAMETER • Designed by Pat Calhoun in 1996, it provides AAA for roaming users. • Today, DIAMETER can also provide policy support for VPN (Virtual Private Service), Voice over IP, Fax over IP, Mobile IP, and resource management (or Bandwidth Broker). • DIAMETER protocol consists of two potions: • Base Protocol: provide secure communication among DIAMETER entities, feature discovery, and version negotiation. • Extensions: Build on top of the base protocol to provide specific services.
