Section 4.3 says:
When the PAA initiates re-authentication, it sends a PANA-Auth-Request message containing the session identifier for the PaC. The PAA MUST initiate EAP re-authentication before the current session lifetime expires.
It should say:
When the PAA initiates re-authentication, it sends a PANA-Auth-Request message containing the session identifier for the PaC. In this case, the PAA MUST initiate EAP re-authentication before the current session lifetime expires.
Notes:
The 2nd sentence in the original text seems to indicate that re-authentication initiation from PAA is mandated, which is not correct as Section 3 says "the PAA may, and the PaC should, initiate re-authentication if they want to update the PANA session lifetime before the PANA session lifetime expires.
