A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : The Network Access Identifier
Author(s) : B. Aboba
Filename : draft-arkko-roamops-rfc2486bis-00.txt
Pages : 17
Date : 2004-2-11
In order to provide roaming services, it is necessary to have a
standardized method for identifying users. This document defines the
syntax for the Network Access Identifier (NAI), the user identity
submitted by the client during, for instance, PPP and wireless LAN
authentication. 'Roaming' may be loosely defined as the ability to
use any one of multiple Internet service providers (ISPs), while
maintaining a formal, customer-vendor relationship with only one.
Examples of where roaming capabilities might be required include ISP
'confederations' and ISP-provided corporate network access support.
This document is a revised version of RFC 2486 which originally
defined NAIs. Enhancements include international character set and
privacy support, as well as a number of corrections to the original
RFC.

In the body type:

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.
