  The RADIUS User-Name attribute SHOULD be the same as the user name
in the EAP message.  If it isn't, then you're NAS is broken.

  Not necessarily.  The proxy can re-write requests, before it
forwards them.

  As I said, if the User-Name attribute exists, and has the normal
"user@realm" format, then it doesn't matter if there is EAP in the
packet.

  If there is NO User-Name attribute in the packet, then the server is
unable to root through the EAP-Message stuff to find what EAP thinks
is the user name.  In that case, without a User-Name attribute,
proxying cannot be done on realms in User-Names.
