PANA protocol provides the functionality to enable all features (e.g.,
per-packet access control performed at enforcement point) described in
the PANA framework draft.  Implementation of PANA protocol itself will
interoperate without referring to the PANA framework draft.  However,
to implement the features enabled by the PANA protocol, PANA protocol
implementors need to pay attention to the PANA framework draft.

Best regards,
