Title : MIPv6 Authorization and Configuration based on EAP
Author(s) : G. Giaretta
Filename : draft-giaretta-mip6-authorization-eap-00.txt
Pages : 38
Date : 2004-2-10
This draft defines an architecture, and related protocols, for
performing dynamic Mobile IPv6 authorization and configuration
relaying on a AAA infrastructure. The necessary interaction between
the AAA server of the home provider and the mobile node is realized
using EAP, exploiting the capability of some EAP methods to convey
generic information items together with authentication data. This
approach has the advantage that the access equipment acts just as a
pass-through for EAP messages and therefore does not play any active
role in the Mobile IPv6 negotiation procedure, which makes the
solution easier to deploy and maintain.
The same approach can be ported also to environments performing user
authentication with methods other than EAP (e.g. GSM, UMTS or CDMA),
by simply using PANA with null authentication to undertake MIPv6
negotiation after the user has gained IP access to the network.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-giaretta-mip6-authorization-eap-00.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.
