One IP tunnel may carry thousands of individual PPP + connections. L2TP is also used as a VPN protocol, popular + with home workers to connect to their offices. + + L2TPv3 allows other protocols as well as PPP to be carried + over L2TP tunnels. L2TPv3 is defined in RFC 3931 + <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3931.txt>. + + The kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a + userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel + and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP + (http://openl2tp.org/). + + If you don't need L2TP, say N. To compile all L2TP code as + modules, choose M here. + +config L2TP_DEBUGFS + tristate "L2TP debugfs support" + depends on L2TP && DEBUG_FS + help + Support for l2tp directory in debugfs filesystem.

L2TP, as + originally defined in RFC 2661, is a standard method for + tunneling Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [RFC1661] sessions. + L2TP has since been adopted for tunneling a number of other + L2 protocols, including ATM, Frame Relay, HDLC and even raw + ethernet frames. + + If you are connecting to L2TPv3 equipment, or you want to + tunnel raw ethernet frames using L2TP, say Y here. If + unsure, say N. + +config L2TP_IP + tristate "L2TP IP encapsulation for L2TPv3" + depends on L2TP_V3 + help + Support for L2TP-over-IP socket family. + + The L2TPv3 protocol defines two possible encapsulations for + L2TP frames, namely UDP and plain IP (without UDP). This + driver provides a new L2TPIP socket family with which + userspace L2TPv3 daemons may create L2TP/IP tunnel sockets + when UDP encapsulation is not required. When L2TP is carried + in IP packets, it used IP protocol number 115, so this port + must be enabled in firewalls. + + To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module + will be called l2tp_ip. + +config L2TP_ETH + tristate "L2TP ethernet pseudowire support for L2TPv3" + depends on L2TP_V3 + help + Support for carrying raw ethernet frames over L2TPv3. + + From RFC 4719 <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4719.txt>. + + The Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol, Version 3 (L2TPv3) can be + used as a control protocol and for data encapsulation to set + up Pseudowires for transporting layer 2 Packet Data Units + across an IP network [RFC3931]. + + This driver provides an ethernet virtual interface for each + L2TP ethernet pseudowire instance. Standard Linux tools may + be used to assign an IP address to the local virtual + interface, or add the interface to a bridge. + + If you are using L2TPv3, you will almost certainly want to + enable this option. + + To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module + will be called l2tp_eth. |
