Title: The Network Access Identifier
State: Active

In order to provide roaming services, it is necessary to have a
standardized method for identifying users. This document defines the syntax
for the Network Access Identifier (NAI), the user identity submitted by the
client during, for instance, PPP and wireless LAN authentication. 'Roaming'
may be loosely defined as the ability to use any one of multiple Internet
service providers (ISPs), while maintaining a formal, customer-vendor
relationship with only one. Examples of where roaming capabilities might be
required include ISP 'confederations' and ISP-provided corporate network
access support. This document is a revised version of RFC 2486 which
originally defined NAIs. Enhancements include international character set
and privacy support, as well as a number of corrections to the original
RFC.
