The identifier doesn't have to be unique for each
EAP-Request:
In order to avoid confusion between new Requests and
retransmissions, the Identifier value chosen for each new
Request
need only be different from the previous Request, but
need not be
unique within the conversation.
and it's not necessary even an increasing sequence:
EAP does not require the Identifier to be monotonically
increasing,
So identifier sequence 0,1,0,1,0,1 would be equally
acceptable
as 253,254,255,0,1,2 ...
