eap Mailing List: Re: +AFs-eap+AF0- Questions for draft-barany-eap-gee-01

+AD4- +AD4APg-GEE is not a general purpose authentication protocol.  It 
+AD4- is a generic 
+AD4- +AD4APg-EAP encapsulation mechanism that allows demultiplexing of 
multiple 
+AD4- +AD4APg-simultaneous EAP conversations between a peer and an 
+AD4- authenticator.  
+AD4- +AD4APg-You say that the draft does describe the MVNO scenarios well, so 
I 
+AD4- +AD4APg-guess we can safely conclude that it does its job then.
+AD4- +AD4-Yes, I know GEE allows demulitplexing multiple EAP 
+AD4- conversation. AFAIK, 
+AD4- +AD4-MVNO is currently the only application for GEE. Do you have 
+AD4- any other 
+AD4- +AD4-application in your mind?

Here no reply for author's company, 
so I suppose there will be no any other applications existed.
it means GEE could only be used for network access scenario,
and doesnt support any service.
It also means EAP demultiplexing is only needed for network acess.
So the application will be quite narrow, 
I could not understand why this solution could be accepted by WG.
