Hi Sam



In most business systems, AR(GW/BRAS) has been selected to perform the Portal/Web Authentication.

So if we want to introduce EAP authenticator into a network for the mobile user authentication.

For us, it is easier and more efficient to deploy this Authenticator function on the existing AR (GW/BRAS).



The reasons are listed as follows:



1 The existing AR has efficient hardware resources to support EAP authentication, so that we can just update the software systems.



2 In many networks the AC is simple and can’t support EAP function. If we want to deploy the EAP authentication in AC,

we need to change the devices which is undesired to many operators.



Of course, we also believe it is one option to deploy Authenticator in AC.  But we want to argue, our solution has its advantage in some scenarios.



Regards

Li
