Document: draft-arkko-pppext-eap-aka-14.txt Review: Joel M. Halpern This document is ready for publication as an Information RFC. In section 4.1.1.1 there is a description of an IMSI. It describes various fields and their sizes. It then says "In other words, the IMSI is a string of not more than 15 digits." While this is a true statement, it is an addition to the previous wording (which would otherwise lead the reader to determine that an IMSI could be 16 digits.) So the use of "In other words" is misleading. With regard to 4.1.1.7 apparently pseudonym user names do not include a realm, but fast re-authentication names do. It would be helpful if this were mentioned in 4.1.1.7, with some indication of the reason for the difference. (If the reason is complex, just a mention of the difference would still help.) Shouldn't the literal 16384 in 4.1.7 (second paragraph) be a named notification code? (There are multiple occurrences of this literal and 32768.) I presume that the last paragraph of 6.2 relates to existing EAP mechanisms, and that it is those mechanisms which mandate the response which needs to be ignored and the EAP-Success? Presumably due to a lack of EAP knowledge, I could not parse this paragraph. Is the notation of section 9.1 for indicating attribute presence in messages (1, 0-1, 0*, 0) used in other EAP specifications? It is understandable, but different from what I have seen used for other protocols.
