The IESG has approved the following document: - 'EAP Attributes for Wi-Fi - EPC Integration' (draft-ietf-netext-wifi-epc-eap-attributes-16.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the Network-Based Mobility Extensions Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Brian Haberman and Ted Lemon. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-netext-wifi-epc-eap-attributes/ Technical Summary: With WiFi beginning to establishing itself as a trusted access network for service providers, it has become important to provide functions commonly available in 3G and 4G networks in WiFi access networks. Such functions include Access Point Name (APN) Selection, multiple Packet Data Network (PDN) connections and seamless mobility between WiFi and 3G/4G networks. EAP/AKA (and EAP/AKA') is standardized by 3GPP as the access authentication protocol for trusted access networks. This IETF specification is required for mobile devices to access the 3GPP Evolved Packet Core (EPC) networks. This document defines a few new EAP attributes and procedures to provide the above-mentioned functions in trusted WiFi access networks. Working Group Summary: This document has been in a dormant state for a while. There is no controversy regarding the document. Using EAP attributes to address a problem that is faced in mobile networks when attaching via WiFi is one solution. And there is enough consensus in the WG w.r.t the solution. Document Quality: There are no known implementations of the attributes for EAP defined by this document. At this time there is'nt any indication from vendors or 3GPP to use the approach specified by this document. The document has acknowledged the one person who has helped in improving the specification. The document does not specify any media type or MIB and hence no specialists have been consulted for reviews. Personnel: Document Shepherd: Basavaraj Patil Responsible AD: Brian Haberman
