Hi,
fairly new to ethereal. I have attached a trace of a radius account and authentication trace.
I want to loadtest using a load testing tool called loadrunner. It has inbuilt functions to execute authentication and accounting. It only supports certain parameter names, those not in the default list can be sent but need to be added as custom fields in hex format e.g. below of loadrunner function and arguments. How do I convert and delimit the name of the field and the value?:
 
radius_account() sends accounting information to a RADIUS server. The
following parameter/arguments are available:

Username-the login username
CallingId-the MSISDN of the user
GGSNIP-the gateway IP (GPRS only)
ChargingId-the PDP Context identifier (GPRS only) PrePaidIND-the
prepaid indicator IMSI-15 digit international mobile station identity (GPRS
only) ServerIP-the IP address of the RADIUS server

If an argument is required but is not listed here it can be added as a
custom fieled argument CustomField=<field_name>,<field_value>"
values must be specified in hexadecimal representation e.g.
"CustomField=\\xa1,\\xed\\xff\\x0a\\x01\\x0b"
