	Title		: Triggering AAA from DHCP Relay Agents
	Author(s)	: G. Tsirtsis, J. Privat

Recently there has been interest in using DHCP for configuring 
clients accessing the Internet through some form of high-speed access 
technology such as cable or ADSL [DHC-AGENT]. In addition, although 
DHCP was initially designed for configuring fixed hosts, proposals 
are being made to enhance DHCP to support roaming/mobile clients 
[DHC-ENHANCE]. These two trends have put in evidence the need for a 
coupling between AAA and DHCP. Some initial requirements for DHCP/AAA 
have been proposed in [DHC-AAA]. 
This document proposes a different model in which AAA procedures are 
invoked not from a DHCP server but from a DHCP relay agent to make 
sure that ALL the Internet Access features supported by the PPP model 
can be replicated in a DHCP based Internet Access environment.

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.
