| Layer Two Tunneling Protocol |
| |
| From RFC 2661 <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2661.txt>. |
| |
| L2TP facilitates the tunneling of packets across an |
| intervening network in a way that is as transparent as |
| possible to both end-users and applications. |
| |
| L2TP is often used to tunnel PPP traffic over IP |
| tunnels. One IP tunnel may carry thousands of individual PPP |
| connections. L2TP is also used as a VPN protocol, popular |
| with home workers to connect to their offices. |
| |
| The kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a |
| userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel |
| and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP |
| (http://openl2tp.org/). |
| |
| If you don't need L2TP, say N. To compile all L2TP code as |
| modules, choose M here. |
