System and Method for Configuring Multiple IP Connections
First Claim
1. A method of configuring multiple per user access connections, the method comprising:
- receiving, by an access gateway (AG) from an access point (AP), a first extensible authentication protocol (EAP) message comprising a first capability of a user equipment (UE);
transmitting, by the AG to an authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) server, a second EAP message comprising the first capability of the UE and indication of a second capability of the AG;
receiving, by the AG from the AAA server, and a first AAA message comprising a negotiated connection capability version; and
transmitting, by AG to the AP, a third EAP message comprising the negotiated connection capability version.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a method of configuring multiple per user access connections includes receiving, by an access gateway (AG) from an access point (AP), a first extensible authentication protocol (EAP) message including a first capability of a user equipment (UE) and transmitting, by the AG to an authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) server, a second EAP message including the first capability of the UE and indication second capability of the AG. The method also includes receiving, by the AG from the AAA server, and an AAA message including a negotiated connection capability version and AAA message parameters and transmitting, by AG to the AP, a third EAP message including the negotiated connection capability version.
