At the time of development, there was no EAP transport specified for any 802.15 standard. The most expedient route for us at the time was to use PANA (RFC 5191), which uses UDP datagrams which are accommodated easily in 6lowpan without requiring any changes. With addition of the PANA relay (RFC 6345), it provides an effective EAP transport, especially where the authentication server is not in direct contact with the joining node. Any EAP transport for 802.15 networks also needs to take this into consideration given the topologies formed in 802.15 networks (well, at least 802.15.4)

There is an obvious difference in scope: The scope of the ZigBee SEP profile is specifically Demand Response and Load Management applications. ZigBee uses IEEE P802.15.4-2003. The scope of the referenced PAR includes all current members of the 802.15 family of standards, which includes 5 distinct MAC and PHY standards (soon to be 6).I'm sure Bob can elaborate further. Hope that helps. Regards -BenHi Bob,As you know, Zigbee Alliance has already adopted EAP/PANA for network access authentication and key agreement for Smart Energy Profile 2.0.Is the problem you are seeking to solve the same problem, or a different one?Thanks.
