CONNECTION PARAMETER AWARENESS IN AN AUTHENTICATED LINK-LAYER NETWORK SESSION

摘要

Methods, apparatuses, and computer programs products for connection parameter awareness in an authenticated link-layer network session are disclosed. A client sends, to a network access server (NAS), an initiation packet announcing the initiation of an authentication session. The client establishes an authenticated link-layer session with the NAS. The client receives, from the NAS, a network policy packet including a network policy defined by one or more connection parameters for the link-layer session. The client then enforces the network policy.
