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.
