Hi, In section 5.7 Session Lifetime, it is stated:
"The PAA MUST initiate the re-authentication phase before the current session lifetime expires." I can't figure out why there is a "MUST" in that case. As documented in the draft, - The session lifetime is not negociable between the PAA and the PaC. - The session lifetime may be sent to the PaC. If not, the PaC considers the PANA session as unlimited. - Both PaC and PAA may initiate a re-authentication procedure regardless of the session lifetime. Could we just have the following principles: - If the session lifetime is sent to the PaC: The PaC should re-authenticate before the expiration of the session lifetime. Otherwise, the session is deleted by the PAA at the expiration of the session lifetime (and the PaC will purge related local state). The PAA may initiate a re-authentication procedure before the expiration of the session lifetime. Otherwise, the session is deleted by the PAA at the expiration of the session lifetime (and the PaC will purge related local state). Both PaC and PAA may initiate a re-authentication procedure regardless of the session lifetime. - If the session lifetime is sent to the PaC: The PAA may initiate a re-authentication procedure before the expiration of the session lifetime. Otherwise, the session is deleted at the expiration of the session lifetime. Both PaC and PAA may initiate a re-authentication procedure regardless of the session lifetime. With these principles, it is up to the PaC to maintain active its PANA session when infomed by the network (PAA) of the authorized session lifetime. There is no strong requirement for the PAA/network point of view to . It is therefore up to the network operator to configure the PAA expected behaviour. Comments?
