-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 but supports kernel mode L2TP.
-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. Note that kernel mode and
