Title: RADIUS / Implementation of additional Vendor Specific Attributes

Hello,

As I saw at the traces, id 41 is a string value and not integer.
Id 42 (integer) needs a definition like "Daylight Savings Time 0 = No, 1 = Yes"
The integer value of id 43 displays a 24 hour time.

Below you find a answer of an email request:

I can provide some information for 3414. 
id 40 is "Venue Class".  It's an integer.  It's a billing control parameter that is defined between WISP roaming partners for T-Mobile US.  It was dropped from the WBA documents because they didn't understand it.  The other three:

{41,    RADIUS_INTEGER1,        "Venue-UTC-Offset ",    NULL,   NULL},
{42,    RADIUS_INTEGER4,        "Venue-DST-Flag ",      NULL,   NULL},
{43,    RADIUS_INTEGER, "Venue-EOD ",   NULL,   NULL},
Are included in some messaging today, but they are all but dead.  There is no pair of roaming partners that I know of who are using these attributes in the manner intended.  The first two may be included on end user bills to identify the local time of use.  The third was intended to drive inter-operator charging and it is not in use anyway.

Regards,
Manuel
