Title : Network Discovery and Selection within the EAP
Framework
Author(s) : F. Adrangi
Filename : draft-adrangi-eap-network-discovery-
and-selection-00.txt
Pages : 22
Date : 2003-10-2
This document proposes a solution for Service Network discovery
and selection that could be implemented within the existing EAP
specification framework. The purpose of Service Network discovery
and selection here is to help a WLAN client using EAP for
authentication to decide whether or not to connect to a WLAN
Access Network, and help it select the most appropriate Mediating
Network as a next hop for routing AAA packets in roaming
situations where the WLAN Access Network has agreements with more
than one Mediating Network affiliated with the clientÆs Home
Service Network.
The proposed solution has 3 components: a delivery mechanism for
conveying Access Network and Service Network Information to a WLAN
client, a data model/syntax for structuring the information in a
generic manner, and a method by which the WLAN client can indicate
its selection to the WLAN Access Network.

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.
