xl2tpd is an implementation of the Layer 2 Tunnelling Protocol (RFC 2661),
|
||
|
|
which works by opening a pseudo-tty for communicating with pppd.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
L2TP allows you to tunnel PPP over UDP. Some ISPs use L2TP to tunnel user
|
||
|
|
sessions from dial-in servers (modem banks, ADSL DSLAMs) to back-end PPP
|
||
|
|
servers. Another important application is Virtual Private Networks where
|
||
|
|
the IPsec protocol is used to secure the L2TP connection (L2TP/IPsec,
|
||
|
|
RFC 3193).
