Applies to: desktop apps only

The PPP_EAP_PACKET structure specifies information about a packet being processed by the authentication protocol.

Syntax

typedef struct _PPP_EAP_PACKET {
  BYTE Code;
  BYTE Id;
  BYTE Length[2];
  BYTE Data[1];
} PPP_EAP_PACKET, *PPPP_EAP_PACKET;

Members

Code

Specifies the type of packet that is sent or received by the authentication protocol. This parameter is one of the four following values.

Value	Meaning
EAPCODE_Request	The packet is a request.
EAPCODE_Response	The packet is a response.
EAPCODE_Success	The packet indicates success.
EAPCODE_Failure	The packet indicates failure.

 

Id

Specifies the identifier of the packet. The authentication protocol is responsible for maintaining packet counts for sessions, as that packet count pertains to EAP activity.

Length

Specifies the length of the packet.

Data

Specifies the data transmitted by this packet. If the packet is a request or a response packet, the first byte of this member signifies its type. For more information about packet types and requirements for type reservation, refer to RFC 2284.
