RADIUS attribute from rfc6572
Mobile-Node-Identifier
The Mobile-Node-Identifier attribute (Type value 145) is of type String and contains the mobile node identifier (MN-Identifier), see , in a form of a Network Access Identifier (NAI) . This identifier and the identifier used for access authentication may be different; however, there needs to be a mapping between the two identities as specified in. This attribute is used on the interface between the MAG and the AAA server. The Mobile-Node-Identifier attribute is designed for deployments where the identity used during network access authentication and the identity used for mobility management is decoupled. It may also be the case where the MAG does not have means to find out the MN identity that could be used in subsequent PBU and Proxy Binding Acknowledgement (PBA) exchanges (e.g., due to identity hiding during the network access authentication) or when the HAAA wants to assign periodically changing identities to the MN. The Mobile-Node-Identifier attribute MAY be returned by the HAAA in the RADIUS Access-Accept message that completes a successful authentication and authorization exchange between the MAG and the HAAA. The MAG MUST use the received MN-Identifier. 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type | Length | Mobile Node Identifier... ~ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Type: Mobile-Node-Identifier 145.
