Hi Marlon, agreed with Matthias.
The agent based solution is a host based software agent which resides on the connecting End-System. The agent will report back to the server(NAC) the current level of compliance of the end-system.

Hi Marlon,

i think you do not need to take care about bandwith usage based on Authentication and Assessment on a client port.

802.1x exchange a few EAPoL Pakets for PEAP or EAP-TLS. Assessment exchange some SSL based TCP Traffic from Assessment Agent to NAC Gateway and vice versa.

This is not nothing compare to the login traffic of the client.

Matthias
