eap Mailing List: Identifier Wrap-around

[Mahesh Dantakale (mahesh.dantakale]

The Identifier is one ocetet field and unique for each EAP-Request.
What happens, if the number of Requests exceeds 255 in an EAP-Conversation?

Will the Identifier wrap-aroud to zero after 255?
If yes, then wouldnt EAP regard this as duplicate packet, as the Identifier field in new Request packet is less than the previous Request packet ?

Thanks and Regards
Mahesh
