  This is a call for proposals to meet the tunnel method requirements
defined in draft-ietf-emu-eaptunnel-req.

  Proposals must:

* be in the form of an internet draft defining the method, including
references to appropriate existing documents.

* describe how the proposal meets the requirements.

* be submitted by March 7, 2011, along with an email to the EMU list
identifying the draft as a proposal.


  Proposers are encouraged to submit their draft before the cutoff date
to allow for more discussion before the IETF in Prague.

  Thanks,
  EMU Chairs

At the last IETF, Glen proposed that rather than using diameter's
namespace for channel binding AVPs we use the RADIUS namespace. There
were two aspects to this concern.  One is that diameter has a larger
length value for attributes. If we're routinely exceeding 253-octets for
values that are part of channel binding, then EAP is not a good

The second aspect is that there is more overhead because the diameter
namespace is larger.

So far we've not been able to come across use cases for channel binding
for attributes present in Diameter but not RADIUS.

So, I'd like to propose that we adopt Glen's suggestion.

This may call into question an earlier discussion. At IETF 78, we decided
that we didn't need to have a mechanism for non-AAA channel binding
attributes, because especially for Diameter it is relatively easy to add
a new attribute.
The RADIUS namespace is more constrained.

I think we have a couple of options:

1) encourage the RADEXT work to extend the RADIUS namespace and work
with RADEXT to make sure they will be OK if they have to approve a
couple of attributes that we only expect to be used for channel binding.
I still expect there will be few of these.

2) Have multiple namespaces for attributes we support.  This may remove
a lot of the overhead savings for RADIUS over Diameter; in the obvious
implementation I'd expect we would waste a byte per AVP.

3) Decide Diameter is fine after all.

I don't care much what option we adopt.  I'd like to decide soon and
propose that option 2 is most conservative. If no other consensus
emerges I'd like to move forward with that option, effectively reversing
our IETF 78 decision.

Thoughts?

  Speaking as an individual, that sounds reasonable.

  There are multiple proposals in RADIUS to extend the namespace.  Under
current allocation pressure, the namespace may be exhausted in 2-3
years.  That's about how long it takes for a new document to be
standardized.

  I'm not sure what you mean by that proposal.

  We should be aware of the alternatives,and costs/benefits before
making or reversing any decision.

The tunnel will provide support for password authentication, EAP authentication and the transport of additional data for other purposes.

Working Group Summary

The document has had substantial review from a number of working group participants. The working group is ready to start working on protocols.

Document Quality

The document is a requirements document that has had contributions from Working group participants from different vendors. Discussion in the Working group has resulted in improvements to the document.

[Joe] I think we do want to discourage using large amounts of data as =

[Joe] I think we need to have a way to add new attributes that are not =
already present.   If we don't then at some point we will end up with =
the need to for a new attribute and we will have to revisit all this =
again.  =20

[Joe] While I think this would be good to do, I think this work should =
be largely independent of and not tightly coupled to channel bindings .

[Joe] To me this sounds the simplest, but I previously favored this =
approach. =20
