We use CoA instead of reauthorization.
As your option is not known for me, only from this forum - I suppose 
that the difference is that with CoA you can do realtime modifications, 
i.e. when changes are applied in BSS, the same change is applied to 
subscriber immediatelly.

Or - redirections/ self access unblocking - CoA is good for it.


It looks that reauth is good for scheduled tasks, CoA for all the rest.
