3. Problem Scope Networks and operators require a user to register in order to provide access to the network or access to value added services. Registration provides the network the user's identity and other related information thereby enabling the operator to authenticate the user and authorize access to services and resources in addition to having a mechanism for charging/accounting. Current user registration mechanisms are built into the lower layers thereby making them access specific; An upper layer protocol will enable the usage of a common registration mechanism for multiple access types.

4. Problem Scope Contd.. AAA (RADIUS/DIAMETER) protocols exist within the network and use information about the user obtained via mechanisms such as PPP to authenticate and authorize as well as charge(accounting). A registration protocol should be the mechanism that exists between the user and the network which carries information used by AAA entities. Two aspects to network access: configuration and registration; The objective with a registration protocol is only registration.
