                      2: using EAP-TTLS authentication only with the gateway presenting a server certificate and
                      3: the clients doing EAP-MD5 password-based authentication.
                      4: <p/>

                     11: <b>carol</b> sends information on her operating system consisting of the PA-TNC attributes
                     12: <em>Product Information</em>, <em>String Version</em>, and <em>Device ID</em> up-front
                     13: to the Attestation IMV, whereas <b>dave</b> must be prompted by the IMV to do so via an
                     14: <em>Attribute Request</em> PA-TNC attribute. <b>dave</b> is instructed to do a reference
