Title : The EAP GPRS Protocol (EAP-GPRS)

This document specifies an extension to the Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP) [2], referred to as EAP-GPRS, which allows GPRS
clients to perform signaling procedures with a core GPRS network
through devices that enforce EAP-based access control. For example, a
GPRS client can use EAP-GPRS to attach to a GPRS network through an
access point that enforces IEEE 802.1X [3] access control. In this
case, the GPRS attach signaling is performed in the context of the
underlying 802.1X procedure and the GPRS messages are encapsulated
into EAP-GPRS packets. If the GPRS client is permitted to attach to
the GPRS network, then the 802.1X procedure ends successfully and the
client is authorized access to the access point. In general, EAP-GPRS
allows any type of signaling to take place during the EAP
authentication as an embedded signaling procedure. However, in this
documents we particularly focus on GPRS specific signaling.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
