9 | Layer Two Tunneling Protocol | |
10 | ||
11 | From RFC 2661 <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2661.txt>. | |
12 | ||
13 | L2TP facilitates the tunneling of packets across an | |
14 | intervening network in a way that is as transparent as | |
15 | possible to both end-users and applications. | |
16 | ||
17 | L2TP is often used to tunnel PPP traffic over IP | |
18 | tunnels. One IP tunnel may carry thousands of individual PPP | |
19 | connections. L2TP is also used as a VPN protocol, popular | |
20 | with home workers to connect to their offices. | |
21 | ||
22 | The kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a | |
23 | userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel | |
24 | and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP | |
25 | (http://openl2tp.org/). | |
26 | ||
27 | If you don't need L2TP, say N. To compile all L2TP code as | |
28 | modules, choose M here. |
