The Accounting Packet Format

As mentioned in Chapter 2, the RADIUS protocol uses a UDP foundation to transmit packets between clients, servers, and proxies. While the original RADIUS accounting RFC (number 2139, to be exact) specified that accounting transactions should take place on port 1646, the latest RFC (2866) changed the port to 1813, because port 1646 was already assigned to the sa-msg-port service.

The packets are broken down into four distinct regions, which are discussed next.
