ISE write-up for: draft-wierenga-ietf-eduroam-05

Abstract:
  "This document describes the architecture of the eduroam service for
   federated (wireless) network access in academia.  The combination of
   IEEE 802.1X, EAP and RADIUS that is used in eduroam provides a
   secure, scalable and deployable service for roaming network access.
   The successful deployment of eduroam over the last decade in the
   educational sector may serve as an example for other sectors, hence
   this document.  In particular the initial architectural and standards
   choices are described, along with the changes that were prompted by
   operational experience."

This draft was reviewed for me by Alan de Kok and Jim Schaad, its authors
have made successive improvements in response to their feedback.

In my opinion, this is a well-written document, clearly explaining the
system design of eduroam, a very widely-used remote login authentication
system.


This draft has no IANA Considerations.
