When multiple access networks are available, users may have
difficulty in selecting which network to connect to and how to
authenticate with that network.  This document defines the network
discovery and selection problem, dividing it into multiple sub-
problems.  Some constraints on potential solutions are outlined, and
the limitations of several solutions (including existing ones) are
discussed.  This memo provides information for the Internet community.

This document is a product of the Extensible Authentication Protocol
Working Group of the IETF.
