Protocol for Carrying Authentication for Network Access
RFC 5191, “Protocol for Carrying Authentication for Network Access”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2008 by D. Forsberg, Y. Ohba, B. Patil, H. Tschofenig, A. Yegin. It has since been updated by RFC 5872. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines the Protocol for Carrying Authentication for Network Access (PANA), a network-layer transport for Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to enable network access authentication between clients and access networks. In EAP terms, PANA is a UDP-based EAP lower layer that runs between the EAP peer and the EAP authenticator. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
