Dear All, Just to confirm Lionel's comment. As editor of this contribution I can say that the intent of the co-authors is to identify some requirements on the EAPoDHCP method, SHOULD this method be selected as the appropriate one for our needs. We think this can be interesting information at this point in time, as this method is currently being proposed to the ietf and is not cast in stone yet.
It just shows that the co-authors find that this method is worth investigating, it is NOT a statement by any co-signer that it will include it into products or will deploy it into its network. As this contribution still has to be presented to and discussed within the DSLF (next week) I cannot say more about it right now on this forum, but our proposal will be to first agree upon such requirements within the DSLF and then to forward this information to the ietf. Best regards, Francois Fredricx. -----Original Message----- From: MORAND Lionel RD-CORE-ISS [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: donderdag 6 december 2007 0:01 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Ted Lemon Cc: Sam Hartman; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Int-area] EAP and DHCP end-points > Yep and in terms of the major implimentors in DSL, Cisco, Redback and > Hauwei and Juniper have spoke up here and said they are supportive of > implement this function in the BRAS. > > Alcatel-Lucent, Nokia-Siemens and Thomoson Telecom (and the service > providers France Telecom,Telecom Italia and Portugal > Telecom) have posted a document in the DSLForum that extends the > current requirement list and shows how the new requirements can be met > with DHCP Authentication.

The aim was to list the requirements that a DHCP-based solution should fulfill, this solution being for now the only working assumption in the DSL Forum. In the conclusion, I think there was something like: "This contribution presents requirements on the usage of the EAP over DHCP authentication method in the context of IP sessions, should the EAP over DHCP method be selected" I'm pretty sure that France Telecom will be able to express their own conclusion/standpoint. Therefore, please do not speak on behalf France Telecom the next time. Even if it is just to express your "feelings".
