A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Extensible Authentication Protocol Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
Author(s) : L. Blunk et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-eap-rfc2284bis-05.txt
Pages : 60
Date : 2003-9-8
This document defines the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP),
an authentication framework which supports multiple authentication
methods. EAP typically runs directly over data link layers such as
PPP or IEEE 802, without requiring IP. EAP provides its own support
for duplicate elimination and retransmission, but is reliant on lower
layer ordering guarantees. Fragmentation is not supported within EAP
itself; however, individual EAP methods may support this.
This document obsoletes RFC 2284. A summary of the changes between
this document and RFC 2284 is available in Appendix B.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-eap-rfc2284bis-05.txt".
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
Internet-Draft.
