	Title		: The Network Access Identifier

In order to provide roaming services, it is necessary to have a
   standardized method for identifying users.  This document defines the
   syntax for the Network Access Identifier (NAI), the user identity
   submitted by the client during, for instance,  PPP and wireless LAN
   authentication.  'Roaming' may be loosely defined as the ability to
   use any one of multiple Internet service providers (ISPs), while
   maintaining a formal, customer-vendor relationship with only one.
   Examples of where roaming capabilities might be required include ISP
   'confederations' and ISP-provided corporate network access support.
   This document is a revised version of RFC 2486 which originally
   defined NAIs.  Enhancements include international character set and
   privacy support, as well as a number of corrections to the original
   RFC.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
