Rationale/Explanation of issue:

In Section 1.2, add:

"AAA
Authentication, Authorization and Accounting. AAA protocols with EAP
support
include RADIUS [RFC3579] and Diameter [Diam-EAP]. In this
document, the terms "AAA server" and "backend authentication
server are used interchangeably."

In Section 2.2, Figure 1, page 11, change "Layer" to "layer"

In Section 3.4, change:

" To improve reliability, if a peer receives a lower layer success
indication as defined in Section 7.2, it MAY conclude that a Success
packet has been lost, and behave as it had actually received a
Success packet. This includes choosing to ignore the Success in some
circumstances as described in Section 4.2."
