eap Mailing List: Re: Questions for draft-barany-eap-gee-01

[Lakshminath Dondeti (ldondeti]

Hi,

GEE is not a general purpose authentication protocol.  It is a 
generic EAP encapsulation mechanism that allows demultiplexing of 
multiple simultaneous EAP conversations between a peer and an 
authenticator.  You say that the draft does describe the MVNO 
scenarios well, so I guess we can safely conclude that it does its job then.

EAP is not used for IMS or Mobile IPv6 authentication, is it?  So, in 
simple terms, it's not the purpose of the GEE draft to specify 
support for those services.

With your last statement, are you saying that there is another way to 
demultiplex multiple parallel EAP exchanges?  If so, I would like to 
read about it.   Please share the reference.  Thanks.

regards,
Lakshminath
