Hi Jouni,

The Service-Type attribute allows differentiation when handling auth
to occur at a RADIUS server.

In most Enterprise-class APs, for 802.1X, a service type of Framed is
typically used.

For a MAC address authentication those NASes, a service type of
Call-Check is typically used.

Yes, it is the correct value to use in the RSN pre-authentication case
as subsequent service to a client is Framed. We observe other
commercial APs using this Service-Type in this case. I did consider
this.

Regards,

Nick
