Subject: [eap] Proposed resolution of Issue 195: Backend Authenticator SM review

Hi,

Here's my proposal for issue 195:

- Change .ps to .pdf everywhere.

- Section 4.3.1 already says the EAP type can be an expanded type,
  and that if it's an expanded type, it also contains "254"
  (that's why the variable type is "EAP Type" and not "integer"). 
  So we can already tell Legacy and Expanded Naks apart...

- In Section 7.1.1, change

  "aaaMethodTimeout (integer): Method-provided hint for suitable
  retransmission timeout, or NONE." 

  to
   
  "aaaMethodTimeout (integer): Method-provided hint for suitable
  retransmission timeout, or NONE (note that this hint is for 
  the EAP retransmissions done by the passthrough authenticator,
  not retransmissions of AAA packets)."  

Best regards,
Pasi
