IEEE 802.1x port-based authentication is desired to prevent unauthorized devices (clients) from gaining 

access to the network. As LANs extend to hotels, airports, and corporate lobbies, insecure environments 

could be created. 802.1x port-based network access control makes use of the physical access 

characteristics of IEEE 802 LAN infrastructures, such as 802.3 Ethernet, 802.11 Wireless LAN and 

VDSL LRE (Long Reach Ethernet), in order to provide a means of authenticating and authorizing devices 

attached to a LAN port that has point-to-point connection characteristics, and of preventing access to that 

port in cases the authentication process fails.
