RADIUS attribute from rfc7268
EAPoL-Announcement
The EAPoL-Announcement Attribute contains EAPoL-Announcement Type-
Length-Value (TLV) tuples defined within Table 11-8 of IEEE-802.1X
. The acronym "EAPoL" stands for Extensible
Authentication Protocol over Local Area Network.
Zero or more EAPoL-Announcement Attributes are permitted within an
Access-Request, Access-Accept, Access-Challenge, Access-Reject,
Accounting-Request, CoA-Request, or Disconnect-Request packet.When included within an Access-Request packet, EAPoL-Announcement
Attributes contain EAPoL-Announcement TLVs that the user sent in
an EAPoL-Announcement. When included within an Access-Accept,
Access-Challenge, Access-Reject, CoA-Request or Disconnect-Request
packet, EAPoL-Announcement Attributes contain EAPoL-Announcement
TLVs that the NAS is to send to the user in a unicast EAPoL-
Announcement. When sent within an Accounting-Request packet,
EAPoL-Announcement Attributes contain EAPoL-Announcement TLVs that
the NAS has most recently sent to the user in a unicast EAPoL-
Announcement.
A summary of the EAPoL-Announcement Attribute format is shown
below. The fields are transmitted from left to right.

String
The String field is one or more octets, containing EAPoL-
Announcement TLVs in the format defined in Figure 11-8 ofof . Any EAPoL-Announcement TLV Type MAY be
included within an EAPoL-Announcement Attribute, including
Organizationally Specific TLVs. If multiple EAPoL-Announcement
Attributes are present in a packet, their String fields MUST be
concatenated before being parsed for EAPoL-Announcement TLVs; this
allows EAPoL-Announcement TLVs longer than 253 octets to be
transported by RADIUS. Similarly, EAPoL-Announcement TLVs larger
than 253 octets MUST be fragmented between multiple EAPoL-
Announcement Attributes.
