 As an RFO you're in a position to rewrite the Operator-Name in the outer RADIUS tunnel. This can be useful if your connected sites aren't setting it themselves, or are setting it wrongly. Ideally each site should set it appropriately because some sites might have multiple O-Ns in use and are in the best position to set them accurately. However, some RADIUS servers (NPS in particular) can't set O-N. As an RFO you're in a position to rewrite the Operator-Name in the outer RADIUS tunnel.

-Best case is that all sites everywhere set the correct O-N and it's proxied untouched to Jisc. This requires that all connect sites run appropriate software which is configured correctly. +Best case is that all sites everywhere set the correct O-N and it's proxied untouched to Jisc.

 First challenge is how to identify which site is which when proxying. Incoming connections can only be identified by their IP address. Fortunately FreeRADIUS provides a way to add attributes internally to incoming connections. First challenge is how to identify which site is which when proxying.
