The EAP type is 0 in this case and it's clearly not any real type. It
might be a misbehaving client or the server might be receiving a RADIUS
request where the first EAP-Message attribute looks like an EAP request
or response for EAP type 0.

Some intermediate system may have for example, stripped the first
attribute away leaving causing the remainder to look like an EAP request
or response.

There are likely to be multiple reasons why you get these messages. They
might originate as incorrect or get mangled during the transport.

Thanks,
Heikki
