I cannot find anything in EAP-TTLS (RFC 5281) saying that the L bit should be set. As you have noticed, EAP-TLS (RFC 5216) does not say anything about the L bit in unfragmented messages and my understanding is that the ambiguity is if unfragmented messages can (not should) have the L bit set. As far as I can see, EAP-TTLS (RFC 5281) states that unfragmented messages MAY set the L bit.

RFC 5281 Section 9.2.2:

   “Unfragmented messages MAY have the L bit set and include the
    length of the message (though this information is redundant).”

I looked through the other TLS-based EAP methods (both RFCs and drafts) and none of them seems to say anything new about the L bit. draft-ietf-emu-eap-tls13 should clarify any ambiguity.

Should draft-ietf-emu-eap-tls13-04 just copy the sentence from RFC 5281 or do the group want something different?

Cheers,
John
