(I sending this e-mail on behalf of Tomas Goldbeck-Lowe who
has reviewed Farid's draft, but his posting to the list
failed. Sorry if you get this twice.)

> However, I don't seen anywhere else in the draft support when

> Also, I my understanding we then must specify that a AAA

> 'mediating-net-2!home-realm!username [at] mediating-net-1' the AAA

> 'home-realm!username [at] mediating-net-2') before the packet is
