The Length field (2 bytes long) indicates the length of the entire packet (in bytes), including the Code,

Identifier, Length, Authenticator, and Attributes fields. Bytes beyond this length are considered
padding and are ignored by the receiver. If the length of a received packet is less than this length,

the packet is dropped.

The Authenticator field (16 bytes long) is used to authenticate responses from the RADIUS server and
to encrypt user passwords. There are two types of authenticators: request authenticator and

response authenticator.

The Attributes field (variable in length) includes authentication, authorization, and accounting

information. This field can contain multiple attributes, each with three sub-fields:

{

Type—Type of the attribute.

{

Length—Length of the attribute in bytes, including the Type, Length, and Value sub-fields.

{

Value—Value of the attribute. Its format and content depend on the Type sub-field.

Commonly used RADIUS attributes are defined in RFC 2865, RFC 2866, RFC 2867, and RFC
2868. For more information, see "
