Priority: S
Section: Appendix A
Rationale/Explanation of issue:

Appendix A defines the Peer-Id, Server-Id and Session-Id for existing EAP 
methods, including EAP TLS, EAP SIM, EAP AKA.  However, it appears that 
there are some EAP methods currently in the RFC Editor Queue that do not 
define these parameters.  So either the specs need to be updated in AUTH48, 
or Appendix A needs to be updated to provide the required information:

Here is the status on EAP method specifications now in the RFC Editor Queue:

EAP-SAKE (draft-vanderveen-eap-sake-02.txt): Defines Method-Id, also defines 
Peer-Id and Server-Id
EAP-POTP (draft-nystrom-eap-potp-07.txt):  Defines Method-Id, also defines 
Peer-Id and Server-Id
EAP-PSK (draft-bersani-eap-psk-11.txt): Does not appear to define 
Method-Id/Session-Id, Peer-Id or Server-Id
EAP PAX (draft-clancy-eap-pax-11.txt):  Does not appear to define 
Method-Id/Session-Id, Peer-Id or Server-Id
