Title: State Machines for Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) Peer and Authenticator
State: Active

This document describes a set of state machines for EAP peer, EAP
standalone authenticator (non-pass-through), EAP backend authenticator (for
use on Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) servers), and EAP
full authenticator (for both local and pass-through). This set of state
machines shows how EAP can be implemented to support deployment in either a
peer/authenticator or peer/authenticator/AAA Server environment. The peer
and standalone authenticator machines are illustrative of how the EAP
protocol defined in [RFC 3748] may be implemented. The backend and full/
pass-through authenticators illustrate how EAP/AAA protocol support defined
in [RFC 3579] may be implemented. Where there are differences
EAP "Switch" model. This model includes events and actions for the
interaction between the EAP Switch and EAP methods. A brief description of
the EAP "Switch" model is given in the Introduction section. The State
Machine and associated model are informative only. Implementations may
achieve the same results using different methods.
