  What Sam said.  Configuring DTLS on a running RADIUS client.

a) Send Access-Request 1
b) admin configures DTLS
c) Send DTLS encapsulated Access-Request 2
d) Receive Access-Accept 1  ---> do ?????


  I think it should accept the Access-Request 1 from step (d).  After
all, it's a signed response to an Access-Request sent by the client.  It
would be bad to ignore the Access-Request because "DTLS is now configured".

  i.e. When DTLS is configured, it means that *new* Access-Requests
should use DTLS.

  It doesn't mean that all traffic is required to be DTLS.  That will
happen over time as RADIUS/UDP traffic gets responses, or is timed out.

  Suggestions for clear text in the document are welcomed.
