A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Point-to-Point Protocol Extensions Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
	Author(s)	: L. Blunk, J. Vollbrecht, B. Aboba, J. Carlson
	Filename	: draft-ietf-pppext-rfc2284bis-10.txt
	Pages		: 40
	Date		: 2003-1-23
	
This document defines the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), an
authentication framework which supports multiple authentication
mechanisms. EAP typically runs directly over the link layer without
requiring IP, but is reliant on lower layer ordering guarantees as in
PPP and IEEE 802. EAP does provide its own support for duplicate
elimination and retransmission.  Fragmentation is not supported within
EAP itself; however, individual EAP methods may support this.  While EAP
was originally developed for use with PPP, it is also now in use with
IEEE 802.

This document obsoletes RFC 2284.

In the body type:

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.

implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
