If controller acts as the 802.1x acts as the authenticator, the switch will be 
the supplicant that gets authenticated.
In that case , switch may need to implement the 802.1x supplicant.

I don't know a reason to implement this in Open vSwitch rather than in an 
OpenFlow controller. Do you?

Hi,

First post and was wondering if there is a timeline / roadmap for the inclusion 
of an 802.1x authenticator role in openvswitch.


Thanks - Ed
