Title : Identity selection hints for Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP)
Author(s) : F. Adrangi, et al.

The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is defined in [RFC3748].
This document defines a mechanism that allows an access network to
provide identity selection hints to an EAP peer - the end of the link
that responds to the authenticator. The purpose is to assist the EAP
peer in selecting an appropriate Network Access Identifier (NAI).
This is useful in situations where the peer does not receive a lower
layer indication of what network it is connecting to, or when there
is no direct roaming relationship between the access network and the
peer's home network. In the latter case, authentication is typically
accomplished via a mediating network such as a roaming consortium or
broker.
The mechanism defined in this document is limited in its scalability.
It is intended for access networks that have a small to moderate
number of direct roaming partners.

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
