L2 access is fine if the authenticator is one hop away. It won't work otherwise. We had this issue with mesh networks using RPL where authentication needs to be relayed through the existing network to the authenticator and access control is performed by RPL routers on the boundary of the network. We solved it using the PANA relay function (RFC 6345). I also have some ideas for more complex network admission using multiple authenticators in a mesh network which could apply here. I will try and get the ideas down in a digestible form.On 03/14/2013 10:03 AM, Michael Behringer (mbehring) wrote:From: Michael Thomas [mailto:[email protected]][...]In today's world access control is gated at L2 via wpa or similar.

Which solution is open for discussion.suggesting that we have a L3 equivalent? In addition? In replacement?Can we agree thus far?Well, it seems to me that we have a solution today at L2, at least for wireless which is the most pressing need. Am I missing something? Or are talking about remote access into your homenet?
