Hi Alan / EMU,

I'll try to talk to Paul @ SURF about Diameter <--> RADIUS; he runs
Eduroam and I think he has mentioned Diameter before.  Our use case is
completely new anyway, so we have a free choice.

Good to hear that EAP-SASL sounds implementable.  We haven't built it,
but I usually "mentally program" the stuff while spec'ing.

I can add that, thanks for asking.  There are WG's where I've been
requested to remove such contextual aspects.

I know about Moonshot, and that the project was abandoned.  What it does
iss the reverse; Moonshot runs EAP on top of GSS-API / SASL, whereas I
am proposing SASL on top of EAP.

That is fair crisicism, and I will think it over for a new version.


Thanks for the input, they are good input to a new version.  I'll think
about a few for a while, as that usually helps to better balance things.
