I think that you don’t really need DTLS, just the same way you don’t have 
encryption in 802.1X. 

You’re only transporting the EAP messages. If you want, you could do EAP-TLS, 
but I would be more interested in EAP-PSK and EAP-AKA.

I would be happy to discuss the different points on which we can collaborate 
and discuss.
