UDP: RADIUS uses UDP as its underlying protocol.RADIUS was later (1997) published as RFC 2058 and RFC 2059 (current versions are RFC 2865 and RFC 2866) Protocol dependencies Merit Network awarded the contract to Livingston Enterprises that delivered their PortMaster series of Network Access Servers and the initial RADIUS server to Merit. Livingston Enterprises responded to the RFI with a description of a RADIUS server. RADIUS was originally specified in an RFI by Merit Network in 1991 to control dial-in access to NSFnet. The DIAMETER protocol is the designated successor, but RADIUS is still commonly used today. RADIUS is often used in larger Wi-Fi (wireless) networks for AAA purposes, replacing the simple shared key methods which are uncomfortable if a Wi-Fi network reaches a specific size. Its primary use is for Internet Service Providers, though it may as well be used on any network that needs a centralized authentication and/or accounting service for its workstations. RADIUS is a protocol for remote user authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA).
