•
EAP-Packet : Both the supplicant and the authenticator send this packet when authentication is
taking place. This is the packet that contains either the MD5-Challenge or TLS information
required for authentication.
•
EAPOL-Start : This supplicant sends this packet when it wants to initiate the authentication
process.
•
EAPOL-Logoff : The supplicant sends this packet when it wants to terminate its 802.1x session.
•
EAPOL-Key : This is used for TLS authentication method. The Wireless AP uses this packet to
send the calculated WEP key to the supplicant after TLS negotiation has completed between the
supplicant and the RADIUS server.
