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.
