Description : xl2tpd 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, xl2tpd can be used in combination with IPsec
: implementations such as Openswan.
: Example configuration files for such a setup are included in this RPM.
:
: xl2tpd works by opening a pseudo-tty for communicating with pppd.
: It runs completely in userspace.
:
: xl2tpd supports IPsec SA Reference tracking to enable overlapping internak
: NAT'ed IP's by different clients (eg all clients connecting from their
: linksys internal IP 192.168.1.101) as well as multiple clients behind
: the same NAT router.
:
: xl2tpd supports the pppol2tp kernel mode operations on 2.6.23 or higher,
: or via a patch in contrib for 2.4.x kernels.
:
: Xl2tpd is based on the 0.69 L2TP by Jeff McAdams
: It was de-facto maintained by Jacco de Leeuw in 2002 and 2003.
