Thanks for your reply Jouni. So, would the client, when connects to Access
Point 2 just try to do key negotiation? 

It seems to me that fast_reauth is a setting that hostapd should have had,
so that if an AP has seen a client a few minutes ago to just do key
negotiation instead of asking for his identity to do a full reauth with a
backend AAA server.
