  • 802.1X and EAP packet exchange sequence (again)
  • Authentication flow chart for a Home auth when user is on home campus (which modules are doing what in each VS)
  • Authentication flow chart for handling a Visiting user to a campus
  • Authentication flow chart for a Home site handling an auth request (arriving via the NRPS) from a remote site
