Issue #69, enclosed below, addresses inconstitencies in ordering
requirements within the draft. My proposal is to accept the change.

--------------------------------------------------------
Issue 69: Inconsistent language in introduction abstract
Submitter name: Nick Petroni
Submitter email address: [email-masked]
Date first submitted: January 14, 2003
Document: RFC2284bis-09
Comment type: E
Priority: S
Section: Abstract and Intro (section 1)
Rationale/Explanation of issue:

Recent changes to 2284bis have been made to state that link-layer media
must support the same order requirements as PPP. The intro and abstract
are inconsistent with this requirement.

Requested change:

Change

EAP typically runs directly over the link layer without requiring
IP and therefore includes its own support for in-order delivery, dupli-
cate elimination and retransmission.

to

EAP typically runs directly over the link layer without requiring
IP, but is reliant on lower layer ordering guarantees as in
PPP. EAP does provide its own duplicate elimination and retransmission.
