Hi all,

in one of my previous mail I said that the requirements rule out an
EAP/AAA solution and this impression was based on reading the following
requirement from http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-seitz-ace-usecases-01

"
   o  U5.2 The meters must be able to perform fine-grained access
      control on the metering data and on the configuration while being
      offline.
"

I was wondering how strong the requirement for not having a real-time
interaction between the resource server and the AS is.

Ciao
Hannes
