l2tpd: Layer 2 Tunnelling Protocol Daemon (RFC 2661)

Name:	l2tpd	Vendor:
Version:	0.69	License:	GPL
Release:	0.2.20051030.al2	URL:	http://sourceforge.net/projects/l2tpd/

Summary

l2tpd is an implementation of the Layer 2 Tunnelling Protocol (RFC 2661). 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). The L2TP/IPsec protocol is mainly used by Windows and Mac OS X clients. On Linux, l2tpd can be used in combination with IPsec implementations such as FreeS/WAN, Openswan, Strongswan and KAME. Example configuration files for such a setup are included in this RPM. l2tpd works by opening a pseudo-tty for communicating with pppd. It runs completely in userspace.
