Hi,

Let me to 'put some questions (if I'm wrong, please, correct me):

PANA goals:
1) One of them is : "IP: the winner interface" - with IP network and connect all types of hosts (signalling-oriented and without signalling) ?
To build an embedded Internet (mobile, cabled,wireless networks + internet) ?
 
2) The network has to be transparent.
Security, Qos, Mobility - Security, Authentication , filter,QoS,Billing.

3) Access control is mandatory in many environments, like a connection wireless cell - IP network.

4) For reach all this points (1, 2 and 3) a security sub-system is need: authentication infrastructure (AAA, EAP), Packet filtering (Filter, firewall); VPN (VLAN, IPSEC), authentication procedure (IEE 802.1x).

5) When a station is linked to a Authentication Server (RADIUS), an EAP identity request and EAP identity response are exchanged by a PaC and a PAA.  They shared a session key ? What are the conditions to have success ? What  

6) EAP:
Defines use Identity concept - a network acecess identifier ?
how many authentication scheme per authentication server ?

7) What are Operating Software  glue ?

8) Technical goals:
AAA; security end to end model; for VPN - create a secured "tunnel" between a client and a server; IPSec.

9) IP policy-based networking:
Mobility, Security, Qos; Real time, Best-effort. How to do all of this ?
With a policy server ?

Thanks, for all
