The network backbone we are using typically performs a lot better than 1-5% losses, but still the number of packets involved in an EAP auth almost cries for a reliable transport. IPSec was deployed (maybe still is, I can try to find out), but according to the admin there it was a real pain in the ... various parts of the body.
