Abstract
The PANA protocol offers a way to authenticate clients in IP based access networks. It carries EAP over UDP which permits ISPs to use multiple authentication methods. However, in roaming environments IP clients might change of gateways and new EAP authentication from scratch may occur. This can considerably degrade performance.
To enhance IP handover in mobile environments, we propose to use the Context Transfer Protocol. The aim is to recover from previous PANA Authentication Agent the PANA security context previously established. For this, we define some ways to trigger the transfer and the content of what we called a PANA context.
