802.1x reauth interval

[anarkiwi]

We would like to be able to re-auth a port periodically, even if the port doesn't change op status.

Is this going to be initiated from the faucet side (not the supplicant)?
And before the supplicant session expires?

Is this different from the session timeout mechanism where after X seconds the supplicant becomes deauthenticated. (Is it an extension so that at X sec faucet/chewie starts a reauth? In which case faucetsdn/chewie#46 (essentially allowing Chewie to start authentication via sending the Identity Request without a EAPOL-Start from the supplicant) would likely achieve this).

[Bairdo]

How long a interval?

Should it be directed at the authenticated supplicants MAC address, or everyone on the port?
