+radsecproxy is a generic RADIUS proxy that in addition to to usual
+RADIUS UDP transport, also supports TLS (RadSec), as well as RADIUS
+over TCP and DTLS. The aim is for the proxy to have sufficient
+features to be flexible, while at the same time to be small, efficient
+and easy to configure.
+
+The proxy was initially made to be able to deploy RadSec (RADIUS over
+TLS) so that all RADIUS communication across network links could be
+done using TLS, without modifying existing RADIUS software. This can
+be done by running this proxy on the same host as an existing RADIUS
+server or client, and configure the existing client/server to talk to
+localhost (the proxy) rather than other clients and servers directly.
+
+There are however other situations where a RADIUS proxy might be
+useful. Some people deploy RADIUS topologies where they want to route
+RADIUS messages to the right server. The nodes that do purely routing
+could be using a proxy. Some people may also wish to deploy a proxy on
+a site boundary. Since the proxy supports both IPv4 and IPv6, it could
+also be used to allow communication in cases where some RADIUS nodes
+use only IPv4 and some only IPv6.
