Hi Joe, 

The idea of defining one payload format for carrying information in EAP
methods sounds useful. 
Then, someone only has to define something once and it is available (at
least from a specification point of view) in all EAP methods. 

In practice, this obviously requires code changes and there is the
question of what you would like to carry in there. Do we have some good
examples on what we would like to carry? My experience from various
research projects is that everyone is very excited to define a new
container but nobody tries to figure out what should be carried in it. 

Using the Diameter format is OK for me. I wonder, however, whether the
idea is to have automatically all the RADIUS and Diameter attributes /
AVPs available for exchange in EAP methods?

Furthermore, if someone believes that something is useful for exchange
in an EAP method does this mean that this new extension gets
automatically registered for the RADIUS and Diameter AVP/attribute
space? 

Ciao
Hannes
