Section: Various
Rationale/Explanation of issue:
IEEE 802.11 has received a request to provide review comments on the IETF
RADEXT internet draft draft-aboba-radext-wlan-03.txt. Comments on
draft-aboba-radext-wlan-03.txt are as follows:
Section 1.1, Terminology, Definition of Authenticator. Suggest changing the
definition to
that used in IEEE Std 802.1X-2004, ?Authenticator ? An entity at one end of
a point-to-point
LAN segment that facilitates authentication of the entity attached to the
other end of the link.?
Section 1.1, Terminology, Definition of Supplicant. Suggest changing the
definition to that
used in IEEE Std 802.1X-2004, ?Supplicant ? An entity at one end of a
point-to-point LAN
segment that seeks to be authenticated by an Authenticator attached to the
other end of that link.?
Section 1.1, Terminology, Listing of ?authentication server?. Suggest
capitalizing, e.g. ?Authentication Server?.
Sections 2.1 and 2.3, ?Allowed-SSID and ?Allowed-Called-Station-ID?. Suggest
inserting
text to provide guidance in the case that the attributes are supported but
not present:
?The the Allowed-Called-Station-Id (SSID) included in the
Allowed-Called-Station-Id (SSID)
Atttribute does not describe a layer 2 endpoint of the NAS, the attribute is
silently discarded?.
Section 2.3, Allowed-Called-Station-ID. Change ?-ID? to ?-Id?.
Section 2.3, Allowed-Called-Station-ID. Add a description of how the NAS
compares the contents
of the Allowed-Called-Station-Id and the Called-Station-Id attributes,
accounting for the cases
when the SSID is is not/included.
Section 2.4, Description. Here and in the corresponding text in 2.5 and 2.6,
the text states
?depends on the link layer in question? and ?not all link layers use this
name?. Suggest deleting
this text, as the focus of the document appears to be a single link layer,
IEEE 802.11.
Section 2.7, Mobility Domain-Id. Suggest removing the use of UTF-8 encoding,
as the Mobility
Domain is expected to be used as a maximum of 6 ?undistinguished octets?.
Section 7, References, IEEE-802.11. The current version of the IEEE 802.11
Standard is
?ANSI/IEEE Std. 802.11Ò-1999, as amended by IEEE Std. 802.11a, IEEE Std.
802.11b,
IEEE Std. 802.11b-COR1, IEEE Std. 802.11d, IEEE Std. 802.11g-2003, IEEE Std.
802.11h-2003,
IEEE Std. 802.11i-2004, IEEE Std. 802.11j-2004?. If publication of the
internet draft follows
publication of IEEE 802.11-REVma, then the reference should be to ?ANSI/IEEE
Std 802.11Ò-2007.
Section 7, References, IEEE-802.11r. Suggest updating the reference from
Draft 1.2, February 2006 to Draft 4.0, November 2006.
